Lyrics
You used to get it in your fishnets

Now you only get it in your night dress

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness

Landed in a very common crisis

Everything's in order in a black hole

Nothing seems as pretty as the past though

That Bloody Mary's lacking a Tabasco

Remember when he used to be a rascal?

Oh the boy's a slag

The best you ever had

The best you ever had

Is just a memory and those dreams

But as daft as they seem

As daft as they seemed

My love when you dream them up

Flicking through a little book of sex tips

Remember when the boys were all electric?

Now when she tells she's gonna get it

I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it

Clinging to not getting sentimental

Said she wasn't going but she went still

Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle

Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?

Oh the boy's a slag

The best you ever had

The best you ever had

Is just a memory and those dreams

Weren't as daft as they seem

Not as daft as they seem

My love when you dream them up

Oh, Flo, where did you go?

Where did you go?

Where did you go?

Falling about

You took a left off Last Laugh Lane

You were just sounding it out

You're not coming back again

Falling about

You took a left off Last Laugh Lane

You were just sounding it out

You're not coming back again

You used to get it in your fishnets

Now you only get it in your night dress

(Falling about)

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness

Landed in a very common crisis

(You took a left off Last Laugh Lane)

Everything's in order in a black hole

Nothing seems as pretty as the past though

(You were just sounding it out)

That Bloody Mary's lacking a Tabasco

Remember when he used to be a rascal?

(You're not coming back again)
