On Lavender Hill

Seen you walk down Lavender Hill with your new friend
Hey babe, you look so good I almost loved you again
Seen you walk down Lavender Hill with your new best friend
Hey honey, did you tell him about the time I was impotent

Are my secrets safe?
Or have you blown the lid on the way that I behaved?
If you haven't yet, I’m sure that you will
(One day)
On Lavender Hill

How much has changed?
Since that first year in London when it always rained
And I'd meet you by horse guards parade
(I'm sure you remember)

Long afternoons
Between the sheets in that room by [?]
Til you lost me or I lost you
And our little scene was through

And your new friend looks at me
And he holds your hand so jealously
God knows where I’d be
(If looks could kill)
On Lavender Hill

Maybe in the scheme of things
We just lost the thrill
But maybe that's the way of things
Some folk get their fill
(And some folk get to foot the bill)

And though we said goodbye
With a careless wave and an oh so nonchalant smile
I felt strange
Cause in many ways, in many ways, in many ways I liked you still
(Until the day)
