Hugh Laurie

She's got eyes like diamonds,
Hair like twisted gold.
When she looks up to me,
I feel my blood run cold

Now, I don't care if people laugh
(A-ha)
I'm in love with Steffi Graf

I watched her all last summer;
I watched her every day
She knew that I was with her,
She didn't have to say

She can run, but she can't hide
She knows I feel deep down inside..

That Steffi is an angel
But she folds her wings
And walks like you and me
She's extremely good at tennis
On any kind of surface there might be
Clay or grass
She'll flay your ass
And when she hits that topspin second serve
I think I know the meaning of love

Eastbourne never was a favorite
The outside courts were damp
She had a hamstring problem
And recurring muscle cramp
But she dug deep and won it just the same
My angel never lost a service game

But now, a shadow in the distance
A girl with ponytails
Sixteen and full of hunger
The end of Steffi's trail
I can't wait for her defeat
I fetch a knife and take my seat

'Cause Steffi is a goddess
My love for her, it knows no bounds
I'd kill to make her happy,
Or just to get her through the early rounds
Kill or maim
It's just a game
But if I had another life, I'd chose
To come back as one of Steffi's shoes

'Cause Steffi is an angel
But she folds her wings
And walks like you and me

When the poor keep gettin' hungry,
And the rich keep gettin' fat,
Politicians change,
But they're never gonn' change that,
But you an' me girl,
We got the answer right in our hands,
All we gotta do is ...

When the winds of war are blowin'
And the tide is comin' in,
Don't you be hopin' for the good times,
Because the good times have already been,
But girl, we got the answer,
So easy you won't believe,
All we gotta do is ...

It's so easy to see,
If only they'd listen to you and me,
We got to ...
As fast as we can,
We got to ...
Every woman every man,
We got to ...
Time after time,
We got to ...
... dka and lime ...

Mystery
All my life has been a mystery
You and I were never ever meant to be
That's why I call my love for you a mystery

Different country
You and I have always lived in a different country
And I know that airline tickets don't grow on a tree
So what kept us apart is plain for me to see
That much at least is not really a mystery

Estuary
I live in a houseboat on an estuary
Which is handy for my work with the Tamesis Port Authority
But I know you would have found it insanitary
Insanitary

Taken a violent dislike to me
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility
That if we'd ever actually met, you might have hated me
Still, that's not the only problem that I can see

Dead since 1973
You've been dead now . . . wait a minute, let me see...
Fifteen years come next January (JAN-uary)
As a human being you are history

So why do I still long for you?
Why is my love so strong for you?
Why did I write this song for you?
Well, I guess it's just the mystery
