Sale Of The Century Lyrics - Godley And Creme

If they auctioned my heart 

on The Sale of the Century 

would it still be there 

at the end of the show? 

Would the Quizmaster-man 

call it a booby prize 

`cos nobody wanted to know 

If they auctioned my heart 

would you open the bidding? 

Or would you stand at the back 

and blend into the crowd? 

When the hammer comes down 

would you still be around 

to watch me going, going, I'm gone 

I've gone Yvonne 

you're left alone 

you'll find my keys on the table 

I never wrote 

a goodbye note 

I didn't think I'd be able 

to put down the way I've been feeling 

deep inside me the brakes are squealing 

but I've never done 

a hit and run 

but Yvonne I've gone, away 

When the hammer comes down 

will you still be around? 

To watch me going, going, gone 

I've gone again 

I've gone Yvonne 

you're left alone 

you'll find my keys on the table 

I never wrote 

a goodbye note 

I didn't think I'd be able 

to put down the way I've been feeling 

deep inside me the brakes are squealing 

but I've never done 

a hit and run 

but Yvonne I've gone, away 

If they auctioned my heart 

on The Sale of the Century 

please try to make sure 

that you are there 

`cos Lot 59 

is this old heart of mine 

and it's going, going, nowhere 

I've gone Yvonne 

you're left alone 

you'll find my keys on the table 

I never wrote 

a goodbye note 

I didn't think I'd be able 

to put down the way I've been feeling 

deep inside me the brakes are squealing 

but I've never done 

a hit and run 

but Yvonne I've gone, away
