(I said)
Down at the street around half past nine
I heard someone scream
I found someone dying
His throat was slit from ear to ear
He mumbled so low I could hardly hear
I bent down low so I could hear what he said
He said tell me the truth am I nearly that dead
I said you re close as you ll ever be
Oh yea you re as close as you ll ever be
Down on the beach around half past five
I saw a pretty girl on a deckchair reclining
A grin split her face from ear to ear
I went up close I must have got too near
Cos I never saw the guy on the sea-front cafe
Leaving his seat come and running my way
Saying you re close as you ll ever be
Oh yea you re close as you ll ever be

Get up close to me honey

I said you re close as you ll ever be
Oh yeah you re close as you ll ever be
You ve been as close as you ll ever be
Close as you ll ever be
C mon you re close as you ll ever be
Oh yea you re close as you ll ever be
I said you re close as you ll ever be
Gimme as close as you ll ever be
