Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott You And Me (were Meant To Be Together)
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Like chewing gum that's stuck to sole of shoe
Like cotton wool and tube of superglue
Inspector Morse or Sherlock Holmes to clue
You and me were meant to be together
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sun tucked behind cloud in sky, behind that cloud is you and I
For ours is love that conquers any weather
You and me are part of team, a parking ticket and window screen
Like Captain Cook and hms Endeavour
You and me were meant to be together
[Chorus]
We're joined so tightly at the hip, like mushy pea and salty chip
Front of council truck to lucky heather
Our tides come in and kiss the shore; you're always mine, I'm always yours
You and me will always be together
[Verse 2]
Like deep-sea diver spoke to bed to sea
Like crow's nest hanging onto branch of tree
Like Margo, Hugo, Theo to après-ski
You and me were meant to be together
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Like combine harvester to crop, like hookers loose to tighthead prop
Sadomasochist to chains and leather
The bird belongs in sky above, like you and I are glued in love
Closer than the tar is to the feather
You and me were meant to be together
[Chorus]
We're joined so tightly at the hip, like mushy pea and salty chip
Front of council truck to lucky heather
Our tides come in and kiss the shores; you're always mine, I'm always yours
You and me will always be together
[Bridge]
Ours is an attraction even an idiot could work out
Simple as duck to water or pork and steak to gout
It need not climb up roof and get to chimney pot and shout
Like cryptic crossword clues to the clever
You and me were meant to be together
[Chorus]
We're joined so tightly at the hip, like mushy pea and salty chip
Front of council truck to lucky heather
Our tides come in and kiss the shores; you're always mine, I'm always yours
You and me will always be together
[Outro]
You and me will always be together
You and me will always be together
