Lovers' Lane

Shine a light down Lovers' Lane

Where George and Barry meet again

One night they met as strangers here

Where strangers meet all times of year

A sudden twist of Fate's new game

A hurried kiss down Lovers' Lane

It could have been too late, too soon

That night they met beneath that moon

But meet they did and jeans undid

And in that trenchant moonlight hid

They doubled up in monstrous glee

And had a thrust or two or three

Then parted once the deed was done

And slept until the friendly Sun

Shone once again with something missing

And that lost thing was tender kissing

So back they came each week at dark

Yet missed each time within the park

Ending up with others who

Were good enough, that much is true

Yet though some passions were ignited

They were humdrum not delighted

But they kept coming over, over

Looking for that one true lover

And now this night: it's April, early

When budding buds are new unfurly

Within those bushes George awaits

Who's there passing dusky gates

It's Barry, bless 'im, "Barry darling!"

George hands him out a brace of Carling

And holding hands they walk the night

Leaving leaves behind tonight

And catch a film in Uptown Square

Then home at ten to Barry's where

They drink some shots and play Guess Who?

Then settle down and have a screw

Love lives on in Lovers' Lane

Where one love's loss is another's gain

Take hope, take heart, there is no can't

Take beer, take boots, take lubricant
