a night like this

Singer: stewart, rod

sixteen years old

looking for a hideaway

i'm a set designer

my mum and dad

thinking i'm gay

i'm a lazy bugger

but i like my sport

like girls and music

i'm happy

happy sort

but there's one thing i'm lacking

it's sexual experience

so i ask you

my sweetheart

save me from this wilderness

i've dreamed

honey

of a night like this

where i come from

love is

just a hole in the wall

and the steel mills ring out and generations

heed the call

and the rain never stops and the skies are grey

and the chance of romance

slim as a bright sunny day

this is partly the reason

i'm so overwhelmed and shy

because your beauty

by contrast

is gonna make a young man cry

i've dreamed

honey

of a night like this

i've schemed

honey

of a night like this

you don't know what it means to a boy from

a suburban home

to be left with a woman like you

completely alone

i've dreamed

honey

of a night like this

nice place you've got here

babe

never seen a house like this

pool like an ocean

bed like a football pitch

all the guys at the boozer

won't believe my luck

but it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke

so here we are

the record's

gotten stuck in the groove

my knees are trembling

c'mon baby

make a move

i've dreamed

honey

of a night like this

i've schemed

honey

of a night like this

i've dreamed

i've schemed

honey

of a night like this

i've dreamed

honey

of a night like this
