The greenkeeper rolls himself a smoke And watches her walk by Tall and poised and beautiful Let´s out a sigh Down in the allotments
They put their plants in pots Go home to watch some Wimbledon Doze off to snooker shots
And I´m flying Through the starry night High over distant lands And I dream you´re lying in my arms And I´m your leading man Your leading man Darling, I´m your leading man
Muggy garden centres Stuffy afternoons Teapots, cup and saucers Sugar, milk and spoons Bottles go back on doorsteps Tools go back in sheds
They clear away the dishes Get ready for their beds And I´m flying Through the starry night High over distant lands And I dream you´re lying in my arms And I´m your leading man Your leading man Darling, I´m your leading man
Well the caretaker steals glances As she waits outside the school Tall and poised and beautiful Elegant and cool
And now the kids are spilling out Laughing and chattering Home for tea and fame tv
And a quiet night in
And I´m flying Through the starry night High over distant lands And I dream you´re lying in my arms And I´m your leading man Your leading man Darling, I´m your leading man Your leading man Darling, I´m your leading man
