There's something very English about 'forever'
   'Hugs and kisses' are English too
   'Forever and a day' has to be American
   But 'hold me close' is me and you
   'Hold me close' is me and you
  
   So pilots do it in the air
   And surfers do it wave after wave
   But soon they'll be looking limp and lifeless
   We'll still be at it in our grave
  
   Hold me close, underground
   Hold me close, underground
   I'll be there, I'll wait for you
   In with the old, out with the new
  
   'Man and wife' just doesn't suit us
   'Just us two' is hardly true
   I couldn't care about Mr and Mrs
   But 'you and I' is me and you
   'You and I' is me and you
  
   Potholers do it with the lights off
   Hikers do it long and slow
   I'll still be trying to get your clothes off
   When I lie 6ft below
  
   Hold me close, underground
   Hold me close, underground
   I'll be there, I'll wait for you
   In with the old, out with the new
  
  
   I'll be there, I'll wait for you
   Hold me close, underground
   In with the old, out with the new
   Hold me close, underground
  
   When it's turned to overbearing
   You and I will still be here
