romantic

[00:14.70] little Jimmy Watkins wasn't ready
[00:17.57] when the winter came
[00:20.54] he forgot to order coats so he shivers
[00:24.36] just himself to blame
[00:27.13] and the marketwives covered with blankets
[00:31.05] I hear them shout in vain
[00:34.65] they try to sell their southern fruits
[00:37.89] in the icy rain
[00:41.48] slowly comes the wintertime
[00:44.66] snowflakes melting on the enginehood
[00:47.88] and all the young girls put on their scarfs
[00:51.46] before they haunt their neighbourhood
[00:58.02] so sorry that I'm romantic
[01:04.91] so sorry that I'm romantic
[01:15.55] hot grey steam out of the drains
[01:18.55] I can't see the traffic lights
[01:21.79] and the smell of cookies and candles
[01:25.85] icecold stary skies
[01:29.10] snowballs fly around my head
[01:32.42] and Linda's laughing bright
[01:35.88] the saucy little skater falls on his nose
[01:39.03] and cries soon he's outta sight
[01:42.89] slowly comes the wintertime
[01:46.15] snowflakes melting on the enginehood
[01:49.54] and all the young girls put on their scarfs
[01:52.97] before they haunt their neighbourhood
[01:59.58] so sorry that I'm romantic...
