Lyrics
I think we would better tactfully put
I suggest we end the evening with care.
An end to the evening now, a
A formal conclusion to the current social gathering.
Little kicking
Small, lively movement or action.
Over the traces goes
Exceeding boundaries has consequences.
A long way at this age.
Overindulging has consequences, especially as we get older.
And we were both bundled
Both of us were dressed in stylish tweeds and flannels.
Up in nice tweeds and flannels.
Continuation of the description of attire.
What she needed she couldn't have.
She desired something she couldn't obtain.
For all I knew she was stone-deaf.
I was unaware if she had hearing difficulties.
I said 'front page,'
I mentioned 'front page.'
She heard 'teenage,'
She misunderstood and heard 'teenage.'
So I tried 'read'
I attempted to convey 'read.'
But she heard 'sweet.'
She perceived it as 'sweet.'
I think we would better tactfully put
Repetition of the suggestion to end the evening tactfully.
An end to the evening now, a
Reiteration of concluding the evening with care.
Little kicking
Repetition of the mention of 'kicking.'
Over the traces goes
Reiteration of the consequences of exceeding limits.
A long way at this age.
Repetition of the idea that overindulgence has consequences.
And we were both bundled
Both individuals were dressed in stylish tweeds and flannels.
Up in nice tweeds and flannels.
Continuation of the description of attire.
What she needed she couldn't have.
She desired something she couldn't obtain.
For all I knew she was stone-deaf.
I was unaware if she had hearing difficulties.
'There's a bag of
Reference to a bag of sweets.
Sweets floating
Description of sweets floating around.
Around somewhere, let
Expressing a desire to find the bag of sweets.
Me see, I really
Expressing frustration or dissatisfaction.
Had it with me
Confirmation of having the bag of sweets during a visit.
When I visited
Location mentioned: the grand prix.
The grand prix.'
