I dive in the kitchen as she sits on the sofa She's taken her coat off so I turn the heating down She is your friend - that's all very well But how could you invite her round? How could you invite her round? She watches the telly like an icecube wouldn't melt Swapping titbits - oh I have to close my eyes And hum a tune in my head How could you invite her round? How could you invite her round? I thought I'd explained She's got someone else's face It's like Invasion Of The Body Snatchers I try to ignore you as you say I'm being childish But she's clogging up my head with thoughts I thought were dead She is your friend - though God knows why But how could you invite her round? I thought I'd explained And her voice is just the same It's like a professional impersonator I stay in the kitchen for as long as I can bear I come back through and she catches my eye I glare back - this is not the perfect evening But how could you invite her round? How could you invite her round? How could you invite her round?
