The Beautiful South
From Now On
[Verse 1]
Water the plants, feed the cat
Leave that door key under the mat
I'm your number one from now on
Set the code, close the door
You don't live there anymore
I'm your number one from now on
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Nothing grows so quickly as the vine
That wraps you up so tight and says, 'You're mine'
No time so exciting as the time
You pour away that bottle containing last night's wine
[Chorus 1]
Last night's wine, last night's wine
What you're taking part in is the cleverest of crimes
Last night's wine, just a flickering sign
But a necessary sin from time to time
[Verse 2]
Fold your dress, leave your hair, put on your jeans you ain't goin' nowhere
I'm your number one from now on
Cancel the milk, unplug the phone, close the blinds you ain't gonna be home
I'm your number one from now on
[Pre-Chorus]
No time quite so easy as the night
To hold her far too close or far too tight
No catch quite so keen, so quick to bite
Than the one that thinks love's possible, first or second sight
[Chorus 2]
Love at first sight, love at first sight
Swinging from the chandelier, it's a one way ticket flight
Love at first sight, so wrong it's right
Swing you by your pigtails, set your world alight
[Bridge]
Nothing hooks you quicker than the line
Thrown straight in from the bank into your spine
For family and friends you'll surely pine
But sentiment and nostalgia, they just ain't worth a dime
[Chorus 3]
What worth's a dime, what worth's a dime
You can leave those financial worries well behind
What worth's a dime, what worth's a dime
I don't want that bank manager on your pretty little mind
Now that you're mine...
