"Daphne" (Difford/Tilbrook)
Artist: Squeeze
Album: "Ridiculous"
Intro:
Daphne don't be ridiculous
this silence is killing us talk to me
speak with a loving tongue
give life a sense of fun
Daphne don't be so cavalier
all that you want is here talk to me
speak with your pretty eyes
not without compromise
CHORUS:
If you're used to a life of farces
playing games of judge and jury
you know when you're wearing those glasses
you look like Nana Mouskouri
Daphne laugh and take silly time
leave sadness way behind talk to me
tell jokes and belly laugh
don't cut your life in half
Daphne Shelly wrote verse for you
he would have wanted to talk to me
saying I must be thick
love is a lunatic
REPEAT CHORUS
so you can be adjourned
Daphne I'm so concerned
