Lyrics
Meet you in the secret place
Meeting in a clandestine location
Scuffling in the dirt I wait
Anticipating in the dirt, expecting someone
Whistle will blow, whistle will blow,
Anxious waiting for a signal
Share a joke the laugh's on me
Sharing a joke, being the subject of amusement
But when I get you on your own we'll see
Desire for private interaction when alone
Someone might hear, someone might hear
Fear of being overheard during the private moment
You're a working girl now
Acknowledging the other person's occupation
You've got money of your own
Recognition of financial independence
Hmmm the meeting place
Reiteration of the secret meeting place
Hmmm the meeting place
Reiteration, possibly emphasizing the significance
Strolling under grimy skies
Walking under unappealing skies
Machines that make you kiss in time
Reference to industrial machinery dictating behavior
Smoke on your breath, smoke on your breath
Noting the presence of smoke, possibly pollution
Chimney never looked so good
Appreciation for an industrial chimney
Never looked the way it should
Observation that things are not as they should be
From lying in the bracken wood
Recalling a moment in nature (bracken wood)
Coat on the ground, coat on the ground
Symbolic act of laying down a coat, perhaps for intimacy
Take a walk down the lane
Invitation to take a walk down a lane
We'll be late back again
Acknowledging a pattern of being late
Hmmm the meeting place
Reiteration of the importance of the meeting place
Hmmm the meeting place [x3]
Repeated emphasis on the significance of the meeting place
