[Verse 1]
Consternation out of the box
As the conversation runs onto the rocks;
In full expectation nothing comes as a shock

[Verse 2]
It's all plain sailing in the dry dock;
It's all downhill from here, in the rubble, taking stock...
With no sense of feeling nothing comes as a shock

[Chorus]
You remind me of the girlfriend I never had:
Never fitted the equation, I was never quite one of the lads
Still I remember that my feelings were always touch and go
Once I thought I knew all that, now I just don't know

[Verse 3]
The wrap's about to happen, the scene is already blocked
Black-out's already plotted and the cameras are locked:
When everything's over nothing comes as a shock
Nothing comes as a shock
Nothing comes as a shock

[Chorus]
I remember that my feelings were always touch and go
Once I thought I knew it all, now I just don't know
