It's Too Late

She said meet me at the gates at 8

Leave now don't be late

She said one day she'd walk away cos I'm always late

Thought things were ok

Didnt care though anyway

Say sorry babe, I had to meet a mate, tempting fate

We first met through a shared view, she loved me and I did too

It's now 7:50 getting ready better be nifty

Do my hair quickly, step out it's cloudy

Mate bells me to borrow money, I got two Henry's and a dealer to pay

Call up on geezers to rid these green trees of my reeking jeans

Got a you think I care outglaring geezers stares

I'm here and I'm there

Couldn't see past the end of my beer

What was getting near, all the silence after the cheers

She said meet me at the gates

Don't be late, but pretty soon the day came for change

And I was glad she never walked away

So Im choosing what to wear, doing my hair with an hour to spare

When my life went pear, she'd been there with a thick stare

Big wheel climed to the top, geezer scares bounced off

Standing at the top of this huge mountain, smiling and shouting

Spring flowers sprouting, not one inch of doubt in my mind as I reached the gates

Came round the corner at a rate

Risked her love but Im gonna set things straight

Never again am I gonna be late

Never again am I gonna be late

Never again am I gonna be late

I said meet me at the gates

Leave now don't be late

I waited for a while listening to her voicemail, mind set sail

Then the facts turned me pale, wind rain and hail

My fears unveiled, for my fair female

She'd walked away, too little too late

I step up the pace, walk past the gates, rain runs over my face

Spirit falls from grace

I purchase a hazy escape at the alcohol place in the chase

Sat down I got a fat frown

Weaping and drowning my senses

For this love game's expensive

I walk in a trance

Gort a wounded soldier stance

The everyday geezers stares throw me off balance

Now nothing holds significance

And nothing holds relavance

'Cause the only thing I can see is her elagance
