You Can Do Nothing Wrong - Lyrics

You Can Do Nothing Wrong (In My Eyes)

(Boy)
Like all the rest -
you weep at sunsets in the west.

(Girl)
Like all the least -
you sleep through sunrise in the east.

(Boy)
You’re a daddy’s girl -
he buys you dresses and you twirl.

(Girl)
You’re mummy’s boy -
in snake-belt kex and corduroy.

(Boy)
But like Humberside is Yorkshire still
and Lancashire is over the hill
and loneliness is Gaping Ghyll,
we never fought and we never will…

(Both)
‘Cos you can do nothing wrong in my eyes.
You can do nothing wrong in my eyes.
(Boy)
Some go mental for pills and smokes,
(Girl)
and some go sleeping with other blokes,
(Both)
but you can do nothing wrong in my eyes

(Boy)
You took me in -
with pillow talk and Bombay gin.

(Girl)
You walked me home -
I woke up naked and alone.

(Boy)
I plucked a rose -
and strew the petals on your clothes.

(Girl)
That rose was dead -
It passed away behind the shed.

(Boy)
But like Humberside is Yorkshire still
and Lancashire is over the hill
and loneliness is Gaping Ghyll,
we never fought and we never will…

(Both)
‘Cos you can do nothing wrong in my eyes.
You can do nothing wrong in my eyes.
(Boy)
Some go looking for tabs and wraps,
(Girl)
and some go loafing with lesser lads,
(Both)
but you can do nothing wrong in my eyes

(Boy)
You watch the dawn -
and talk about the earth reborn.

(Girl)
You watch the dusk -
like watching iron turn to rust.

(Boy)
If looks could kill -
they’d find me slaughtered on the hill.

(Girl)
The day you laugh -
I’d frame it in a photograph.

(Both)
But like Humberside is Yorkshire still
and Lancashire is over the hill
and loneliness is Gaping Ghyll,
we never fought and we never will…

(Both)
‘Cos you can do nothing wrong in my eyes.
You can do nothing wrong in my eyes.
(Boy)
Some go hunting for thrills and flings,
(Girl)
and some find fault in every little thing,
(Both)
but you can do nothing wrong in my eyes.
