Lyrics: Eugene McGuinness. The Early Learnings Of Eugene McGuinness. Madeleine.


You were dancing like a dying matador
Amongst an armada of four-by-fours
We were running in the morning from the land of Lego
Fugitives of Rainbow Road
Where all the golden pavestones have a rainbow glow
But if it's every-fucking-where you go
Then surely it's no rainbow

No hi there's or "how do you do?'s
Just a blur where I was introduced to you
No chance of weather or dissertation deadlines
I knew we were leaving, yeah, we were leaving
Me and Madeleine

And now I'm scribbling chick little hearts
I tell my friends and they all rip me apart
Paper aeroplanes launched across the bar
With piss-take love notes
Embarrassing to say the least
Peeling the label off your Orange Reef
We made a swift exit at double speed
Discussing rainbows

No "hi there"s or "how do you do?"s
Just a blur where I was introduced to you
No chance of weather or dissertation deadlines
I knew we were leaving, yeah, we were leaving
Me and Madeleine
I knew we were leaving, yeah, we were leaving
Me and Madeleine
I knew we were leaving, yeah, we were leaving
Me and Madeleine
