Turn off the light,
Take her to bed.
Watch her eyes flutter shut and plant a kiss on her head.
Send admiring smiles and feel a swell in your heart
But you’re worlds and worlds apart…
“My darling,
Come on home to me”
He begs and pleads with his eyes.
Over cigarettes and coffee and
Pleasant smiles.
Oh, she’s dreaming of cities like Paris and Rome.
But he wouldn’t mind a trip on down to Camden and home!
Turn off the light,
Take her to bed.
Watch her eyes flutter shut and plant a kiss on her head.
Send admiring smiles and feel a swell in your heart
But you’re worlds and worlds apart…
She’s listening to salsa and reggae,
Banghra and hip-life.
He much prefers The Long Blondes,
The Libertines and Bloc Party.
You argue over eating chips or sushi for dinner.
She said Noel Fielding isn’t funny,
He called her a sinner.
Turn off the light,
Take her to bed.
Watch her eyes flutter shut and plant a kiss on her head.
Send admiring smiles and feel a swell in your heart
But you’re worlds and worlds apart…
And she says:
“Lover,
You are lo-ver-ly.
But we’re two different people
And a little time off is the lesser of two evils.
Go watch MTV2 and drink up your bitter.”
He lies, “I’d be upset if you were fitter.”
Turn off the light,
Go off to bed.
You have to change your Myspace and clear out your head.
Save admiring smiles for more deserving girls
Until then, you keep your world.
Turn off the light,
Take her to bed.
Watch her eyes flutter shut and plant a kiss on her head.
Send admiring smiles and feel a swell in your heart
But you’re worlds and worlds apart…
