Standard (EADGBE)
All the cities in the world and so very little time, and
So many different girls, all you have to do is find them
There's a wealth of opportunity, you make your plans accordingly
A pity that the pretty ones are usually more touristy
Say, how'd you like to run away from these machines?
Everywhere the spies are printing out our dreams
Seven stops in seven different countries, seven page itineraries
Memories thick as bloody marys, Jesus Joseph bloody hell
Right now we're here in Boston
In love with downtown crossing
New York will still be there in the morning
Come back to bed my darling
I had Julian and Steve, you had Juliette and Janet
You wear your terror on your sleeve for all the men I haven't met... yet
I had Oliver in Potstam you had Elanor in Amsterdam
We're keeping score so carefully we've lost the state we're in completely
Honestly your foot is out the door and I've got scores of offers
Elsewhere and keep both feet planted firmly in the air
And tomorrow you can totally erase me from your mind
No really, everything is fine
Because right now we're here in Boston
In my apartment in the south end
Forget your friends in London
Come back to bed my darling
You can put the details in a letter
The more embarrassing the better
Right now I can be happy if I choose to
I know that in the morning I will lose you
And maybe you'll be mad, and maybe I'll be gray
Before we really understand or maybe it won't matter anyway
We'll find out that your mom was right and you'll admit you're really gay
And maybe we'll wake up in a city far away
Or maybe we'll make up, and buy a house
And have a dozen kids who'll run away it doesn't matter anyway
Right now we're here in Boston
In Eden where you almost let your pants down
Don't worry who these jokes will all be lost on
Come back to bed my darling
There is nothing in the world that we can count on
Even that we will wake up is an assumption
But I know for a fact that I loved someone
And for about a year he lived in Boston
In Boston
