Lyrics The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

She Wanted Romance

Woman cries in dock and says she did

But she wants the jury to know why she did

She wanted romance

A slow dance

No chance, cause the man she was with

Was Scots not Italian

Woman tells of thoughtlessness and lies

How he bought her panties in the wrong size

So she slept with his best friend whose name was Vince

But then he criticised the mince

Yeah, he criticised the mince

She wanted romance

A slow dance

No chance, cause the man she was with

Was Scots not Italian

Now the Italian men live at home

With their parents till they're forty-one

Woman killed her husband with a sword

Then she told her story to the Daily Record

Which noted how her courage never failed

Until she got to Cornton Vale

Until she got to Cornton Vale

She wanted romance

A slow dance

No chance, cause the man she was with

Was Scots not Italian

She wanted romance

A slow dance

No chance, cause the man she was with

Was Scots not Italian, hey
