Madness - Close Escape Lyrics

(Foreman/Thompson)

That was a close escape
Have to get a new hobby to relate
Something less conspicuous
Won't take up too much time
Something less sadistic
For what I've got in mind
I won't be too persistent
'Cause I'm not that way inclined

C that's the one for me
Look, have you got any titties free
What you do is find 5p
415-1683 hello Miss Collins you'll not know me
I'm in the undies business see
Please, please can you tell me
The size, how far from the knee

Oh dear, dear me, luck is running thine
I'll take another name, I might have a win
Got two more coins, I hope no-one thinks I'm dim

C that's the one for me
Look and you're......... free
See if she'll speak to me
Hands are shaking eyes can't see
Having trouble finding 5p
217-1983 hello Miss Dickens you'll not know me
I'm in the undies business see

Don't worry, that's nowt, here we go again
Oi! no peeping, someone must take the hint
Oh dear, dear me, luck is running thin

So please, please can you tell me
The tits do feel real good to me
In a naked mood
Try to grin and bear with me
Please don't think me rude
I only hear, don't want to see

C that's the one for me
That was quick, too quick for me
Of that I can see
What's your name, Mildred, well buggar me
Sugar and milk in my tea
No harm could be, well I'll see
What's your hobby, just the same as me
See you soon for tea

I'll give it one last chance
I think you'll all agree
I'm getting no game here, only lost 5p
I'll flicker through the pages, nothing interests me
I'll ring another number, make sure it's a she
Here we go again, I'll give it third degree
No harm's been done, yes I'm sure you'll all agree
I'll take another name, I might have a win
