The Real Top Of The Pops Lyrics

It is never cool to break somebody’s heart,

but mine’s already broken so it doesn’t really hurt.

You know I loved you so and perhaps I love you still.

Every time you touch me I can feel the old thrill.

Where did you learn that walk, babe, where did you get that smile?

You must have been rehearsing while I was out wasting my time.

Such a fool as I, such a humdinger girl like you,

storming through the stage and missing all our cues.

Remember rocking the place and never worrying too much,

together we could have been the real top of the pops.

Nobody did understand but we couldn’t care less, I guess.

I guess all it takes to bring it back to life

is a single night with her, a single night with her.

I never thought I’d see you wearing my shirts again,

feels like the house was haunted and you had never really left.

Yeah, it’s old and it’s new, same deft fingers more tattoos,

there must be something worth when we keep colliding like we do.

Now I don’t need a map to locate the tender spots,

I keep the one I stole when I got lost for the first time.

We were oh so cute as a stubborn ticking bomb

somebody had forgotten under the bed we were sleeping on.

Remember rocking the place and never worrying too much,

together we could have been the real top of the pops.

Nobody did understand but we couldn’t care less, I guess,

I guess all it takes to bring it back to life

is a single night with her, a single night with her.
