she drove her mother's car, 'twas a 2cv

i was most impressed by her casual dress

i was most impressed

inside her rented room colored deepest blue

i suppose we found some kind of happiness

to fill the emptiness



we were simply wasting precious time

hiding from the cruelest summer sky



she took her mother's car to get away from me

heaven knows that i, i can sympathize

oh i can sympathize

for we were never close if the truth were told

all we ever shared was a taste in clothes

oh we were never close



we were simply losing everything

underneath the cruelest london sun



we were simply wasting precious time

we were simply wasting precious time

we were simply wasting precious time
