my lyricsbox
In a fortnight's time
You will be mine
I'll bide my time

You're a paradigm
Of woman kind
You could be mine

I disgust myself
But I've got to try
I catch your eye

Would you like to go on a date with me?
And I know, it's old fashioned to say so
Five times five equals twenty-five
Don't you know your times tables by now?
Oh-woh
Don't you know?

On the last train home
You wanna phone
Instead you rub your eyes
The reflection is grim
In the windowpane
It's the human stain
So you have a drink
To erase the day
There's another way

So
Would you like to go on a date with me?
And I know, it's old fashioned to say so
Five times five equals twenty-five
Don't you know your times tables by now?
Oh-woh
Don't you know?

When it comes to girls I'm mostly hypothetical
If I list their names it's purely alphabetical
When it comes to girls I'm truly theoretical
If I test their nerve it's merely dialectical

And so
Would you like to go on a date with me?
And I know, it's old fashioned to say so
Five times five equals twenty-five
You should know your times tables by now
Oh-oh
Woh-oh
Don't you know?
I said don't you know?

In a fortnight's time
you will be mine
you will be mine
This song is from the album "Our Earthly Pleasures".
