One, two, three Watching the clock in a hotel bar Turn it off, turn it off, make it stop Another round, another word A stare so hard It's easy to ignore But not when you're in love (not when you're in love) (When you're in love) Curving up the Regent's street Kings Cross to Queens Counting out the stops, missing mine Do you know what I mean?
