[Intro] [Soft tremolo guitar, distant waves] [Verse 1] Mrs Grout's gone up at ten I tiptoe down the stair Sandwiches in greaseproof paper A flask, an apple, cockles in a jar I don't know what you like to eat I hope you'll like what's there [Pre-Chorus] I've never been the brave one I've never said a word But I'm walking to the lido In the dark like a bird [Chorus] Supper at the deep end Just you and me You hold it like a treasure Like you've never had tea Supper at the deep end Under the lamp Nobody would believe me So I won't tell a soul [Verse 2] The council sat in their Sunday suits Mr Bellamy climbed so high He said "Perfectly safe, gentlemen" Then he tumbled from the sky I fetched a towel, I bit my lip I tried so hard not to smile [Pre-Chorus] But then the hands went up And the vote was "drain it dry" And a van came through the fog With a man and a harpoon, and I [Chorus] Supper at the deep end Just you and me You hold it like a treasure Like you've never had tea Supper at the deep end One more night They're coming on Friday And I don't know how to fight [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I'm not brave, I'm not clever I just sell the tickets at nine But if you need someone, I'm here Maybe this once I'll be fine [Final Chorus] Supper at the deep end Just you and me Hold on, hold on, my friend I'll think of something, you'll see Supper at the deep end Under the lamp They're coming on Friday But I'll be coming back [Outro] [Tremolo fades, waves]
