Lyrics

Equator

[Verse 1]

Well, I always felt that I had quite a gift as a judge of human character

This is the day and the time and the place, and I wonder, wonder where you are

Surely we set it for 3PM

Surely we said, "it was March the 10th"

[Chorus]

(Equator, equator)

You said you'd meet me there

You must be just around the bend

[Verse 2]

Well, all of the gifts are now melted or dead, and I'm sorry, sorry in advance

I'll make it up to you, that I can promise you, if I am given just half the chance

God, you'll be laughing, I look a mess

But you see I've been half way around this place

[Chorus]

(Equator, equator)

You said you'd meet me there

(Equator, equator)

You said you'd be right there

(Equator, equator)

Oh yeah!

(Equator, equator)

Do-do-do-do

(Equator, equator)

Do, do-do, do-do-do

(Equator, equator)

Oh yeah!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

(Equator, equator)

You said you'd meet me there

You must be just around the bend

[Verse 3]

Well, I've got to stop here and rest for a moment, I'm sure that you're not far away

You always walked just as slow as you talked, letting me think I could have my way

I wasn't fooled for a second, girl

I knew it was you who controlled our world

[Chorus]

(Equator, equator)

You said you'd meet me there

(Equator, equator)

You said you'd be right there

(Equator, equator)

Oh, yeah

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator

Do-do-do-do

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator

La-da-da-da-da

Equator, equator (Do-do-do, do-do-do)

Do-do-do

[Outro]

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator

You said, you said, you said

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator

You said, you said, you said

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator

Oh, yeah

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator

La-da-da-da-da

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator

Da-da-da-da-da

(Equator, equator) La-da-da, la-da-da

Da-da-da

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator

Equator, equator

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator

Equator, equator

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator

Oh, yeah

(Equator, equator) Da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da, da-da-da-da

(Equator, equator) Da-da-da, da-da-da

Da-da-da-da

(Equator, equator) La-da-da, la-da-da

Da-da-da

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator, equator, equator

You said, you said, you said

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator, equator, equator

You said, you said, you said

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator, equator, equator

Equator, equator, equator

(Equator, equator) Equator, equator, equator, equator

Equator, equator, equator

(Equator, equator) You said, you said, you said

You said you'd be right there

(Equator, equator)
