| They spent that Thursday morning, yawning, channel-surfing, and slagging off |
| all the bands |
| She got lips like Audrey Hepburn and she tastes of strawberry jam |
| He tries to put on a Geordie accent 'cos he knows she always laughs at it |
| She likes the sound of music but she says she always skips the nazI bit |
| She does French crosswords and when she wears his t-shirts they look like |
| dresses on her |
| And if the sun comes out her nose gets those little brown freckles on it |
| Her 21st birthday was coming up and he didn’t know what to get for her |
| So he wrote her a song and in that song there was this bit where he said to her. |
| I’m looking for your face in crowded places |
| I’m double-taking all these random strangers |
| And since I left you at Victoria station |
| You’ve rented my head out |
| rented my head out |
| And on his mobile phone next to her name he’s put the letter x in |
| 'Cos she always puts kisses in-between all the words when she texts him |
| And she wakes up when his asthma’s bad and gets him his Ventolin |
| And gently rubs his back and rests there on the edge of the bed with him |
| And sometimes her joints get achey and she lets him stretch them for her |
| And she falls asleep during horror films with her head rested on him |
| And for her 21st birthday coming up he still didn’t know what to get for her |
| So he wrote her a song, and in that song he meant it when he said to her. |
| I’m looking for your face in crowded places |
| I’m double taking all these random strangers |
| And since I left you at Victoria station |
| You’ve rented my head out |
| Rented my head out. |
