Thing I'll miss when you're not here are
The kissing thing
Oh, I'll cry again
The kissing thing
I've been thinking, I've decided
There's not much point in trying to hide it
Don't want you anymore
Not anymore

I'm taking off for France

She said
We're going nowhere
I would've sent a letter, I'm to blame
We're going nowhere
Did anybody tell you it's a shame

I can't believe I got to know you
The girls were mad
Of what we had
The girls were mad
We never seemed to go to college
Donkey House we didn't want it
Anyway
So, anyway

I'm taking off for France

She said
We're going nowhere
I would 've sent a letter, I'm to blame
We're going nowhere
You always said you loved me it's a shame

I'm taking off for France

She said
We're going nowhere
I would've sent a letter, I'm to blame
We're going nowhere
Did anybody tell you it's a shame

We're going nowhere
I would have sent a letter, I'm to blame
We're going nowhere
You always said you loved me it's a shame

A shame

Other opinions

guess what? any morose track. nice and lively though, and with a repetitive loop VERY reminiscent of like a motorway... example lyrics: "I've been thinking, I've decided Not much point in trying to hide it Don't want you anymore, Not anymore I'm taking off for France..."
