Lyrics
I thought I'd seen you round before
I recognized you from previous encounters.
Then you came knocking on my door
You approached me, seeking connection.
You were only 16 years
You were at the age of 16 at that time.
And yet you took away all of my fears
You, despite your youth, alleviated my fears.
I held your hand and then I knew
Our connection deepened when I held your hand.
I was the one and only one for you
I felt that I was your one and only love.
We were married at 21
We got married when we were 21.
Expecting any day our first born son
We anticipated the birth of our first son.
Yeah yeah yeah
Expression of excitement or affirmation.
And that sugar and spice
Referring to the pleasant aspects of the relationship.
Everything was so nice
Life seemed perfect and enjoyable.
Now it's all come undone
Things have now fallen apart.
Has it's course just been run
Questioning if the relationship has reached its end.
We bought a flat in Golders Green
We acquired a residence in Golders Green.
A second hand fridge and a washing machine
We bought second-hand appliances.
You found a job in Marks and Spencers
You secured a job at Marks and Spencers.
Filling shelves sure it was pretty senseless
The job seemed trivial or unfulfilling.
But every day at a half past five
Every day, I waited for you at the station.
I'd be waiting at the station for you to arrive
I greeted you upon your arrival.
I'd take your hand and walk you home
We walked home hand in hand.
And if it rained we'd shelter in the Hippodrome
In bad weather, we sought refuge in the Hippodrome.
Yeah yeah yeah
Expression of excitement or affirmation.
And that sugar and spice
Referring to the positive aspects of the past.
Everything was so nice
Life was pleasant and harmonious.
Now it's just not the same
Current circumstances are unfavorable.
It's bitterness and pain
The relationship is now marked by bitterness and pain.
Oh it's over my head
Feeling overwhelmed and confused.
And far too much has been said
Too much has been said or discussed.
Tell me what has become
Asking about the current state of the relationship.
You were my number one
You were my top priority.
Oooooh
An expressive interjection indicating deep emotion.
That sugar and spice
Referring to the positive attributes of the past.
Everything nice
Life was sweet and delightful.
Or just castles of sand
Questioning the solidity of past happiness.
And very thin ice
Suggesting that past happiness was fragile.
I thought I'd seen you round before
I recognized you from previous encounters.
Then you came knocking on my door
You approached me, seeking connection.
You were only 16 years
You were at the age of 16 at that time.
