Same Time Next Week - Phil Manzanera

Sometimes when I was younger

I thought I’d found my luck y number

But she drifted away

She’d encourage your advances

Back row movies, midnight chance

Absolutely nothing to say

And as time went by

I found I was looking

For that pebble in the sky

Who was not too shy

But would always satisfy me

Same time next week

Well you’ve kept your tan quite well I must say

And your figure’s getting better every day

But I’ve something tosay to you

On the subject of confession

I admit to indiscretion

Nothing really just a weekend or two

Well now is that so?

I didn’t

Really want to know about

The details I’ve go to go

To meet your sister at nine

And maybe I’ll see you same time next week

It must have come as quite a shock to you

To hear people talk as they as people do

So scandalously

Hey I’m a liberated lady

Second generation sister say!

Why don’t you want it and

Don’t patronise me

Well the problem is with me

You see that you have got

Exactly what I want but she

Has always had what I need

Maybe I’ll see you same time next week
