Sasha stands in his yellow cafe

Sitting on his red leather sofa, he's rolling another

Man, I'll see you when I see you



Holly is set to be the next big thing

In her high heeled boots, and her two inch earrings

Heart of glass, Blondie, sings in her ear

You're a rock queen honey and we all hear you!

Lucy had a hard time with love

But love recently chose the right time for Lucy

Loving when you know it's the final time

A Guinness in one hand, in the other a fable, able

I once asked are you a lonely man

His reply was non-commital, 'I am what I am'

And these are your four minutes.

Who with four minutes left has used up three

I think of you, I think of me

Then I think of nothing, it's the end you see, yeah!
