(I said)
Down at the street around half past nine
I heard someone scream
I found someone dying
His throat was slit from ear to ear
He mumbled so low I could hardly hear
I bent down low so i could hear what he said
He said tell me the truth am I nearly that dead
I said you`re close as you`ll ever be
Oh yea you`re as close as you`ll ever be
Down on the beach around half past five
I saw a pretty girl on a deckchair reclining
A grin split her face from ear to ear
I went up close I must have got too near
Cos I never saw the guy on the sea-front cafe
Leaving his seat come and running my way
saying you`re close as you`ll ever be
Oh yea you`re close as you`ll ever be
Get up close to me honey
I said you`re close as you`ll ever be
I said you`re close as you`ll ever be
You know you`re as close as you`ll ever be
Close as you`ll ever be
C`mon you`re close as you`ll ever be
Oh yea you`re close as you`ll ever be
I said you`re close as you`ll ever be
Gimme as close as you`ll ever be
