We were born within
an hour of each other
Our mothers said we could
be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah
it never suited you
And they said that
when we grew up
We'd get married
and never split up
Oh we never did it
although I often thought of it
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small
with wood chip on the wall
When I came round to call
you didn't notice me at all
And I said let's all meet up
in the year two thousand
Won't it be strange
when we're all fully grown
Be there 2 o'clock
by the fountain down the road
I never knew that
you'd get married
I would be living
down here on my own
On that damp and lonely
Thursday years ago
You were the first girl
at school to get breasts
And Martin said
that you were the best
All the boys loved you
but I was a mess
I had to watch
and try and get you undressed
We were friends
that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home
sometimes but it meant
Oh it meant nothing
to you
'Cos you were so popular
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
your house was very small
with wood chip on the wall
When I came round to call
you didn't notice me at all
And I said let's all meet up
in the year two thousand
Won't it be strange
when we're all fully grown
Be there two o'clock
by the fountain down the road
I never knew that
you'd get married
I would be living
down here on my own
On that damp and lonely
Thursday years ago
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And now it's all over
you've paid your money
and taken your choice
I don't know if we'll
ever meet again
But Deborah
I just wanted you to know
I remember every single thing
Deborah do you recall?
your house was very small
with wood chip on the wall
When I came round to call
you didn't notice me at all
And I said let's all meet up
in the year two thousand
Won't it be strange
when we're all fully grown
Be there two o'clock
by the fountain down the road
I never knew
that you'd get married
I would be living
down here on my own
On that damp and lonely
Thursday years ago
