lyrics

Me and the girls
Looking for a fast-track minister
We don’t care about authentificating documents
The streets tonight look like the front of Bend Sinister
We want to make it official
With a solid gold “O”
You aint the planning type
Shimmy down the escape pipe on the gable end
You’re a guy’s best friend
You’re your own bossa nova

The galaxy is a blank canvas
I’d love to put a band in it
If the invite’s in invisible ink
You know I had a hand in it
When the mind sweeper sweeps you off your feet
When B.3’s mistakes are A.1’s latin beat
When the top and the base of the pyramid meet
I didn’t think you liked things neat
Tied up in bows and left on your seat
You’re the sorceress of the lost weekend
You’re a guy’s best friend
You’re your own Bossa nova
You’re the back seat lover on the lunar rover
Moody Blues light show on a gold October night

Lose a lot of energy
Lose a lot of gallantry
Private landing strip for when the blip goes shambles
Rivetting the fuselage for when you come on over
You’re your own, you’re your own bossa nova
