Well we were born within one hour of each other.
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
Your name is Deborah. Deborah.
It never suited you Oh
and they said that when we grew up
we’d get married and never split up.
We never did it, although often I thought of it.

Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small
with wood-chip on the wall.
When I came around to call
You didn’t notice me at all
and I said
“Let’s all meet up in the year 2000.
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown?
Be there at 2 o’clock by the fountain down the road”
I never knew that you’d get married.
I would be living down here on my own,
on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

You were the first girl at school to get breasts.
Martyn said that you were the best.
The boys all loved you but I was a mess.
I had to watch them try and get you undressed.
We were friends that was as far as it went.
I used to walk you home sometimes
but it meant nothing to you ‘cos you were so popular.

Ah Deborah do you recall?
Your house was very small
with wood-chip on the wall.
When I came around to call
You didn’t notice me at all
I said
“Let’s all meet up in the year 2000.
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown?
Be there at 2 o’clock by the fountain down the road”.

Oh yeah. Ah do you recall.
Your house was very small
with wood-chip on the wall.
When I came around to call
You didn’t notice me at all
I said
“Let’s all meet up in the year 2000.
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown.
Be there at 2 o’clock by the fountain down the road”.
