Lyrics Edwyn Collins – Coffee Table Song
Text:
What is your number?
My number is zero
And what is your colour?
My colour is blue
What is your secret?
Why that would be telling
Well what is your problem?
My problem is you
Why that would be telling
Well what is your problem?
My problem is you
I’ll turn my back on it all
I’ll stand, and I’ll face
My living room wall
Well that’s really something
What is your star sign?
You’ve got to be kidding
Well what is the answer?
I wish I knew
What is the time?
It’s time I was leaving
Why what is your problem?
My problem is you
Tell me something that I don’t know
Make it brief, to the point, like a fatal blow
Since time out of mind I have loved you so
There’s a place I know where we both could go
I would swim the seven seas
I would crawl upon my knees
Just to get there
I would crawl upon my knees
I would swim the seven seas
Just to get there or be there, somewhere out there
Like a fatal blow, like an open sore
Like a heart that’s torn in two
That’s really something
Like a heart that’s torn in two
That’s really something
