Lyrics

I remember when I met you we had a right old gas

I recall the time when we first met, and it was a very enjoyable experience

(Gas, gas, gas, gas, gas)

(Repetition) Emphasizing the joyous nature of the initial meeting

And now I'm telling you the truth we should have made that last

Now I'm being honest, acknowledging that our relationship should have endured

(Last, last, last, last, last)

(Repetition) Reiterating the idea that the relationship should have lasted

Look at this picture (OK), how well it's framed

Reflecting on a picture, possibly a metaphor for the relationship, and appreciating how well it's presented

I'll need your credit card and maiden name (Alright)

Mentioning the need for personal information, possibly in a playful or joking manner

I remember when I met you we had a right old gas

(Repetition) Recalling the initial enjoyable experience of meeting


You and I have got to get back together

Expressing a desire to rekindle the relationship


Hey girl

Initiating communication with a woman

(Who me?)

(Response) Confirming the addressed person

Yeah you

(Acknowledgment) Affirming the woman's identity

I've been loving what I see you do at grad school

Expressing admiration for the woman's actions at grad school

(Oh)

(Response) Acknowledging the compliment

Perhaps you'd come to lunch with me

Suggesting a lunch invitation

(Huh?)

(Confusion) Woman's response indicating confusion or surprise

I'm sure I'll find some time inside my diary

Expressing the intention to find time in the schedule

Mmm, now let's see

Considering the available time slots in the diary

Yeah, Monday looks quite good to me

Proposing Monday as a suitable day

(Monday looks quite good to me too

(Response) Woman agrees that Monday is convenient

I'll see if I can book us a table

Suggesting the possibility of booking a table at a nice place

Someplace really, really good)

(Details) Considering a really good place for the meeting


You and I have got to get back together

Reiterating the desire to reconcile and get back together

You and I have got to get back together

(Repetition) Emphasizing the need to reunite


And even when I'm low on time

Committing to spend time together even when busy or stressed

I swear, I'll spend it with you boy

(Commitment) Pledging to prioritize spending time with the person

You needn't worry, it's alright

Assuring that there's no need to worry, expressing understanding

I swear, I'll spend it with you

(Repetition) Reiterating the commitment to spend time together

And even when I'm low on time

Reassuring the person that it's okay even when time is limited

I swear, I'll spend it with you boy

(Repetition) Reiterating the commitment to spend time despite constraints

You needn't worry, it's alright

Reiterating the assurance that there's no need to worry

I swear, I'll spend it with you

(Final Repetition) Reaffirming the commitment to spend time together
