I Can’t Hear You, We’re Breaking Up
[GILES:]
We first met when I literally fell on her
A Hollywood meeting on the 86 tram
My left shin felt better when we started talking
Was meant to get off in Fitzroy but I stayed on
[COURTNEY:]
He tripped on my leg on the way to the Social Club
But he probably does that just to meet girls
At least he was a gentleman and offered to help me up
Turns out he was going to the same gig I was
[GILES:]
That night I fell for her
[COURTNEY:]
That night I got drunk
[GILES:]
I'm a sucker for a vintage dress and a fringe
[COURTNEY:]
He's so bad for me
He's so clingy
[GILES:]
She's so hot
[COURTNEY:]
I so need to break this off
[GILES & COURTNEY:]
Make love to me, love to me, love to me
[COURTNEY:]
Just don't say you're in love
[GILES & COURTNEY:]
Make love to me, love to me, love to me
[COURTNEY:]
I can't hear you, we're breaking up
The next morning he just wouldn't leave
Oh it was my fault I guess
His jokes were appalling but he kissed pretty good
That's when it began, more or less
[GILES:]
We spent the whole morning together
We really got on over breakfast
We just clicked
Think it was those Chuck Norris gags I told her
That's when we fell in love I think
And now she's my girlfriend
[COURTNEY:]
Wait a sec, girlfriend?
[GILES:]
I'm a sucker for white stockings and hair clips
[COURTNEY:]
He's so bad for me
He's so clingy
[GILES:]
She's so hot
[COURTNEY:]
I so need to break this off
[GILES & COURTNEY:]
Make love to me, love to me, love to me
[COURTNEY:]
Just don't say you're in love
[GILES & COURTNEY:]
Make love to me, love to me, love to me
[COURTNEY:]
I can't hear you, we're breaking up
[GILES:]
You're so gorgeous
You could be on the front cover of Frankie magazine
[COURTNEY:]
You're not
[GILES:]
You're so gorgeous
[GILES & COURTNEY:]
I can't believe we're going out
Going out, going out, going out, going out
I can't believe we're even going out
[GILES:]
Now lyrics from love songs actually mean something
She's so passionate, I think she's the one
We have this game where she pretends not to hear me
I think that's a sign that we're truly in love
[COURTNEY:]
The way he talks I just don't want to hear it
Put my head in the sand and I hope it will stop
When he calls I say "It's a bad line, I can't hear you, I think that we're breaking up"
[GILES:]
Let's go and make love
[COURTNEY:]
But we're not in love
[GILES:]
I'm a sucker for when she makes jokes like these
[COURTNEY:]
I'm not joking, you're too clingy
[GILES:]
I'm too what?
[COURTNEY:]
You're too clingy and needy and we need to break this off
[GILES & COURTNEY:]
Make love to me, love to me, love to me
[COURTNEY:]
Just don't say you're in love
[GILES & COURTNEY:]
Make love to me, love to me, love to me
[COURTNEY:]
I can't hear you, we're breaking up
[GILES:]
We're breaking up?
[COURTNEY:]
We've broken up
