The Beautiful South - We Are Each Other lyrics

rate me

(Heaton/Rotheray)

There's no more little secrets we haven't yet disclosed

We bore the living daylights of anyone too close

And all our cards at Christmas are written to us both

Count them up who's got the most?

Said we'd be close

Said we'd work perfectly

Said that we'd toast

Beautiful company

Closer than a sister to her baby brother

Closer than a secret agent working undercover

It's too close for a lover

It's too close for a lover

We are each other

We are each other

We've been through all positions and this one's definitely best

You move Middle East and I'll move Wild West

What happened to our friendship we could easily have guessed

Add it up we're self-possessed

Said we'd be true

Said we'd be so so proud

Just me an you

We'd shout it out aloud

Closer than a sister to her baby brother

Closer than a secret agent working undercover

It's too close for a lover

It's too close for a lover

We are each other

We are each other

Remember we went shopping and we went by piggyback

I shaved all my legs and you grew hairs upon your back

Well no-one's ever been since to this lover's shack

It's a cul-de-sac

Said we'd be close

Said we'd work perfectly

Said that we'd toast

Beautiful company

Said we'd be true

Said we'd be so so proud

Just me an you

We'd shout it out aloud

Closer than a sister to her baby brother

Closer than a secret agent working under cover

It's too close for a lover

It's too close for a lover

We are each other

We are each other
