Little pumps in bed,
Little repeats at brek,
Little, little,
Your eyes,
Robert Smith hair,
Sorry, sorry,
And another sorry,
But how calm we are,
When the ticks,
Go before the tocks,
And you are so sweet,
And I am toffee,
We can’t change that,
We can’t change then,
Just this, then done,
For a bit more,
Bring it back, love
…five more minutes.
