I assume you've met before

No we haven't actually

Hi, my name's Daniel

and who might you be?

She introduced herself

Then I offered her a drink

Now we're together

She's the one for me



She wants to be a vegan but still eats cheese sandwiches

holidays in Sweden, speaks three languages

Mandarin Chinese, Norwegian and English

Good girl most of the time but dabbles in cannabis

which has its advantages for imaginative fantasists

A bit of an anarchist political activist but isn't a twat with it

Has an ambition to make cinema, act in it

In fact, she's already written a manuscript

She's the whole package, gift wrapped in bandages

ready to be unravelled now she's found the right man to kiss

Sometimes we're out and other lads try and chat her up

but she always has the perfect comeback to back her up

Before I saw her, I thought that I was lacking luck

but my next decision was ditching pessimism, pack it up

How could I hate a world that made this girl how she looks

so if you're asking me my fantasy, that's the stuff



Girl of my dreams

She's the one for me

Girl of my dreams

Certainly the one for me



She's got a soft spot for prog rock, often wears odd socks

not because she's kooky, but just because she's got lots

of other things on her mind like what time One Stop's

open so we can make some late night Quorn hot dogs

Like me, see, she's got a wonky body clock

Sometimes it's tomorrow before she nods off

With her it's non-stop, she makes night brighter than the daytime

utilises every second on the clock

We've got a lot in common - great minds

so we often say the same lines at the same time

She's the alto counterpoint to my bassline

I knew she had soul when I heard it through the grapevine

Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield

Bill Withers, Billie Holiday, Dusty Springfield

She'll spin vinyl, and I like the things she plays

I'm acquiring a taste for the the finer things of late

She'll listen to bebop from 1958

Coleman, Coltrane, Tyner, Mingus, Davis

I'd find them in her playlist, that's when I'd begin to say

this is too good to be true; it's like I've been to Vegas

the way that I've hit the jackpot, it's nice to think I've made it

Light of my life, when she's shining, it's amazing

My spine was tingling ages once my eyes had seen her face

because her smile's an invitatition to a better place

Let us celebrate



Girl of my dreams

She's the one for me

Girl of my dreams

Certainly the one for me



With her monogamy is never monotony

She's got lots of opinions which she expresses honestly

She dresses modestly, but knows she's sexy (obviously)

Talks filthy but still says every letter properly

She's got a Monopoly on me, hot property

but she knows well that a posh hotel is not for me

She'll pop an e but never have a pop at me

for being drug free because she's seen me when I'm ugly

acting abominably and she still loves me phenomenally

When I go wrong, I just follow her lead

Come along with me, she says, because I wanna sleep together

so we throw our overcoats on and leave for heaven



Girl of my dreams

She's the one for me

Girl of my dreams

Certainly the one for me



She's into literature, in particular, De Bernières

Firmly aware that living's all about the journey there

She isn't into girly affairs like perming her hair

but it's sweet, she still sleeps with her first teddy bear

and when it's early, she wears no make up, and has puffy eyes

but I find it a great look because she's mine

She looks fine with her hair tied up or even better down

I swear that no-one looks better in a dressing gown

She's so giggly that her nose goes wrinkly

simply because I've been up to bring her a drink, you see

I'm into coffee, she likes a hot cup of tea

that's one of the few topics on which we do not agree

She watches old films, ticks ones off she hasn't seen

Her guilty pleasure's reading gossip magazines

Now I often have a real problem with what I can believe

but seeing her, there's not a chance I'm dreaming



Girl of my dreams

She's the one for me

Girl of my dreams

Certainly the one for me



She's certainly the one for me

Man I really adore her

So I'm perching on my knee

and I'm kneeling before her

Six months' salary

on the ring that I've bought her

I ask her "Will you marry me?"

and she says "Dan, of...."

For Pete's sake

I Had the girl of my dreams and wasn't even awake
