What Could You Have Won Lyrics

It's closing time and it's getting late
Can you fetch my coat cause I don't feel too great... anymore
But I want to stay
Don't you want to stay as well?
I don't think that you do
I've got this funny feeling that you don't feel like I do
This conversation's just passing you by
I know it, I can see it in your eyes

You've had one too many, low and behold
You're telling the secrets that can't be told
It feels so special, it feels so right
But then you knock me back and I fall
I fall to the floor

And all he wanted was a kiss
All he wanted was a chance tonight

I'm walking home, I'm pissed and I'm frozen
My minds being warmed up by that little token of you
In your little way
But they're sleeping in your today
And now beeps the phone
I fumble round to answer but I end up with it on hold
Late night taxis keep passing me by
I feel sick and look to the sky

I've had one too many, low and behold
The late night lovers stay out in the cold
I ring your number and feel so bold
You kick me into touch and I fall to the floor

And all he wanted was a kiss
All he wanted was a chance tonight

And yeah your ignorance was bliss
Your ignorance was paradise
Just give him a chance
Just give him a sign or something
Tell him what you want
Cause before too long he'll find somebody else
It's then that you'll know you want him more
You call his name and he doesn't respond
He knocks you back and you fall

You're not just a number
Upon a computer
Or a waiting list

You're not just a number
Upon a computer

Or a shopping list

my favourite song by Milburn...

i see it as being a little story : guy goes out and gets plastered with some mates and wanted to try it on with a girl ("all he wanted was a kiss") just as the club or pub is closing, and when he goes for it he gets knocked back and "falls" because he is so leathered. He is then walking home at night drunk after being knocked back at the club; he doesn't manage to get to his phone on time or get a taxi and he's starting to feel sick so the night is ending up a total blow-out... Then because he is so drunk, he feels bored and makes a drunken call to the girl from earlier, but she maybe knocks him back again or tells him off for phoning because he is drunk and he "falls"...

"your ignorance was bliss" - maybe she was happy before she knew he liked her, but in the back of her mind she does like him so she tries to get with the guy, but maybe because she had knocked him back before or because he is sober now, the man knocks her back... and she "falls"

so it all ends in full circle
