Boston

[Verse 1]

All the cities in the world

And so very little time and

So many different girls...

All you have to do is find them

There's a wealth of opportunity you make your plans accordingly

A pity but the pretty ones are usually more touristy

Say how'd you like to run away from these machines?

Everywhere the spies are printing out our dreams

Seven stops in seven different countries

Seven page itineraries

Memories thick as Bloody Marys

Jesus Joseph bloody hell

[Chorus 1]

Right now we're here in Boston

In love with Downtown crossing

New York will still be there in the morning

Come back to bed my darling

[Verse 2]

I had Julian and Steve

You had Julia and Jeanette

You wear your terror on your sleeve

For all the men I haven't met (yet)

I had Oliver in Potsdam you had Eleanor in Amsterdam

We're keeping score so carefully

We've lost the state we're in completely

Honestly your foot is out the door

And I've got scores of offers elsewhere

And keep both feet planted firmly in the air

And tomorrow you can totally erase me from your mind

No, really everything is fine

[Chorus 2]

Because right now we're here in Boston

In my apartment in the South End

Forget your friends in London

Come back to bed my darling

[Bridge]

You can put the details in a letter

The more embarrassing the better

Right now I can be happy if I choose to

I know that in the morning I will lose you...

[Verse 3]

And maybe you'll be mad

And maybe I'll be gray

Before we really understand or maybe it won't matter anyway

We'll find out that your mom was right

And you'll admit you're really gay

And maybe we'll wake up

In a city far away

Or maybe we'll make up

And buy a house and have a dozen kids who'll run away

It doesn't matter anyway

[Chorus 3]

Right now we're here in Boston

N I M B R F T O feeling

Don't worry who these jokes will all be lost on

Come back to bed my darling

[Outro]

There is nothing in the world that we can count on

Even that we will wake up is an assumption

But I know for a fact that I loved someone

And for about a year he lived in Boston

In Boston
