Closer Than Most Lyrics - Beautiful South

Well, I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open 

And it made me long for little last night 

Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet 

But a sweet worth every bite 

Now I'm not normally one to be greedy 

But I had to be greedy with you 

Five days, six days, the whole of the month 

Wouldn't satisfy my only sweet tooth 

Well, it can take many years to forge a friendship 

It can take a lifetime to get close 

But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map 

And we still got closer than most 

Hey, hey 

Hey, hey, hey, hey 

Hey, hey, hey, hey 

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Well, excuse my staring but it's just your looks 

Are a standard well above myself 

Your face might mean zip to you 

But to me it's something else 

All I can do is thank you 

And wish that every dream you have will come true 

Five years, six years, the whole of your life 

I'll be wishing for the riches for you 

Well, it can take many years to forge a friendship 

It can take a lifetime to get close 

But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map 

And we still got closer than most 

Hey, hey 

Hey, hey, hey, hey 

Hey, hey, hey, hey 

Hey, hey, hey, hey 

Photos 

You dashed prettys only chance of a compliment 

And gave the plain the blues 

Turned supermodel into last year's pull 

And got her down shining your shoes 

And I don't mean to be hod carrier 

Of the ordinary folks bad news 

But tell Miss World to fly to Mars 

If she really doesn't like to lose 

Well, it can take many years to forge a friendship 

It can take a lifetime to get close 

But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map 

And we still got closer than most 

Hey, hey
