Lyrics Saint Etienne

Saint Etienne

Madeleine

I've never been to Rome

But I don't need to go

I don't need to go to know

Life would be sweet and slow

The traffic sign; the washing line

Down Holloway Road she goes, wasting time

Just a little sleep

I need some dreams to keep

To keep my mind from running through

The stupid things I do

The shopping's done; the kettle's on

And if he calls today I may come undone

Madeleine, could you explain?

Madeleine, did she mention my name?

Somewhere in the East

A caravan rolled on

The waters flowed on through the town

The rain fell on everyone

Madeleine, could you explain?

Madeleine, did she mention my name?

Madeleine, could you explain?

Madeleine, did she mention my name?

Do-do-do-do-do...
