Curly & Raquel Songtext
von Martha

You tried to play it cool,
When the blue lights started flashing,
But that calm demeanour slipped,
On the day that you got nicked,
Cut me open and you'll see,
That same anxiety runs all the way through me,
That stick of rock you never licked.

All the stories that we tell,
Roy and Haley, Curly and Raquel,
Romantic reference,
Come on tell me what's your preference?

Celebrating my love for you,
With a stick'n'poke and an Iron Brew,
Wondering if you can even tell?
Finding some excuse to walk in your direction,
Bathe you in concealed affection,
Subtlety's a word I cannot spell,
But it's probably just as well.


Here's the rub, they bulldozed the companions club,
Now we've gotta learn to occupy our time,
Kicking stones, so it goes,
All our favourite haunts are closed,
Let's sack it off and play a board game back at mine.

Weatherfield Mademoiselle,
Thinking back to Curly and Raquel,
On your arrival,
I can stick on the subtitles.

Celebrating my love for you,
With a cherry pop and a bad tattoo,
And wondering if you can even tell?
Finding some excuse to walk in your direction,
Bathe you in concealed affection,
Subtlety's a word I cannot spell,
But it's probably just as well.

It's the story of,
A lonely kid who fell in love,
When you spray painted 'ACAB' on the wall,
Of the local village hall.

Celebrate my love for you with a stick and poke tattoo.
