I met her at a party
A friend of a friend had thrown
To celebrate his birthday -
A brilliant excuse to get stoned.
She said that I was crazy
To even try to understand. Even try to understand
I said that she was lazy,
But she told me to look at my hand.

She said:
“Life is just like painting the forth bridge “Life is just like painting the forth bridge
With a toothbrush, in the full knowledge With a toothbrush, in the full knowledge
That when it’s done That when it’s done
It will be begun again.” It will be begun again.”

We wandered into the garden
And cried into our beard.
We knelt under the yew tree
And wished it a thousand more years.
We argued by the lakeside
Until I pushed her in, Until I pushed her in
So we swam out to an island,
Which frightened us out of our skin. frightened us out of our skin

She said:
“Life is just like crossing the Severn, “Life is just like crossing the Severn,
Paying a toll to get you to Heaven, Paying a toll to get you to Heaven,
And when your in, And when your in,
Life begins again.” Life begins again.”

“Her words flew up to Heaven, words flew up to Heaven,
My thoughts remained below. My thoughts remained below.
Words said without feeling Words said without feeling
Never to Heaven go, Never to Heaven go,
Never to Heaven go, Never to Heaven go,
Never to Heaven go.” Never to Heaven go.

She said:
“Life is just like painting the Forth Bridge “Life is just like painting the Forth Bridge
With a toothbrush and in the full knowledge With a toothbrush and in the full knowledge
That when it’s done, That when it’s done,
Others will come Others will come
To toil in hail, rain, wind, snow and sun. To toil in hail, rain, wind, snow and sun.
When all is said When all is said
And done And done
My life is yours My life is yours
And yours is mean.” And yours is mean.”
