Exuberant pop with a twinge of regret

fiogf49gjkf0d Saw her just the other day
For the first time in a decade
And he felt again the sour taste of failure
He called out 'Hey there, Annie Green'
But that's not what it said on the movie screen
So he joined the silent homage to the picture
And I thought that she would send me money
But it's been ten years and I ain't seen any
And factory work pays by the penny
Did I mean nothing to you baby?
Oh but I have many options left to me
Though you are beyond me now
I've done alright by you girl
I got thirty silver pieces from the News of the World
And they said 'Jimmy took her virginity
Enthroned it in his history
Jimmy blazed a day and he has his memories'
The desk next to mine, it was love at first sight
You were humble then and a little uptight
When we made love you were a beautiful sight
Our bodies sang and the air turned white
And though I screwed around, I treated you right
Come on back for more
Come to Jimmy baby
Come on back for more of my love
Annie, I can't forget you babe
You can't forget my lovin' babe
Let's get it together one more time, just for old time's sake
I bet you have restless nights thinking of me
So sweep up to my door
and say 'I'm coming back for more'
Jimmy dreams that you are thinking of him
As the midday sun creeps round his curtains
You're on the night-shift stacking shelves beside him
You say 'You're the tonic for me, no question
So I'm coming back for more of you loving'
Come on back for more...
Desk next to mine, it was love at first sight
You were so pretty girl, you were pure light
When we made love you were a beautiful sight
We'd been drinking all day and it was such a cold night
And I screwed around, but I treated you right
Come on back for more...
