Can it be so long ago
that we would walk the night, Soho
from Balans to The Village bar
then Popstarz
or a night bus to Japan?
but then one night
you met some fool
(he was your mirror, dear
looked just like you)
and so it seemed
you'd found your perfect man

but my heart was in your hand
so you made me weak
I hope you sleep
a long and lonely night
but my heart was in your hand
so you made me weak
I hope you sleep
a long and lonely night
– with your right hand

Jesus how the years had passed
when I saw you in the Retro Bar
standing with your boring friend
I barely recognised how this began
(mnh now baby blue,
what the hell became of you?)
you must have been on the attack
but they were laughing now behind your back
'cos they could see what I could see
that you were just a fat and balding man
(mnh now baby blue,
what the hell became of you?)

but my heart was in your hand
so you made me weak
I hope you sleep
a long and lonely night
but my heart was in your hand
so you made me weak
I hope you sleep
a long and lonely night
with your right hand.
