The Beautiful South
"Little Chef"


When you walked into my life my piano stopped
Not through unwelcome stranger but a penny dropped
I was your beauty that was penny
Held by few but dropped by many
And your homeless eyes so easy to adopt

When I realised the extent of this catch
I had to, I had to catch my breath
Cause I've only seen such raw beauty
Alone, or when close to death

So the blind and the hard of hearing
See no hear no love appearing
And your sweetest taste
Is left confined to this little chef

When I realised you were single
I had to double take
Cause I've new seen real beauty
So far from the fake

When you've lost in high speed chase
Those who only loved your face
There's a pit stop of my love
For when you brake

When the tailback that you hypnotised
Has settled down
And that convoy following classy
Hit a different town

When you've lost in hot pursuit
Those who tailgate all that's cute
You will hear this loving engine's
Little Sound
