Album: Country Life

Three And Nine

(Ferry/Mackay) You might remember
How it used to be
3 and 9 could show you
Any fantasy
Parti-coloured pictures
Now and then 3D
No cheap nostalgia
Conjured up by me
Back to the old days
Close to home
Show me some new ways
I´ll carry on
Whether making out or played out
Three and nine make twelve
I´ve a dozen reasons
Lying on the shelf
B feature back rows
Filed away
No point pretending
Change is here to stay
3 and 9 to 45
Decimal romance
If you´ve warmed to centigrade
You stand a sporting chance
I´m not so special
You´re a misfit too
Why must they interfere
In everything we do?
Should we play safe now
Or go all the way?
Six and two threes now
More I cannot say
