Blind date with a chancer, we had oysters and dry lances

And the check when it arrived, we went dutch dutch dutch

Dutch a redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash

And this emory board is given me a rash

I'm flat out

You're so beautyful to look at when you cry

Freeze don't move

You've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation

Of the sequel to your life

A shady lane

Everybody wants one

A shady lane

Everybody needs one

Oh my God (8)

It's everybody's God (4)

The worlds collide

And all that We want is a shady lane

Glance don't stare

Soon you're beeing told to recognize your heirs

No not me

I'm an island of such great complexity

Distress surrounds

The muddy peaceful centre of this town

Tell me off

The hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys

And the overfriendly concierge

A shady lane

Everybody wants one

A shady lane

Everybody needs one

Oh my God (8)

It's everybody's God (4)

The world collide

And all that I want is a shady lane
