Intro

Well we were bo rn within an hour of each other

Our mothers said we could be sister and brother

Your name is deb orah. Deborah, it never suited you

And they s aid that when we grew up

We'd get married and never split up

We never di d, although i often thought of it

Oh deborah, do you re call?

Your house was very small

With woodchips on the wall

And when i came round to c all

You didnt notice me at all . . . .

And i said, le ts all meet up in the year 2000

won't it be strange when we're all fully g rown

Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the r oad

I never knew that you'd get married

I would be living down here on my o wn

On that damp and lonely thursday years a go

(chords as verse1)

you were the first girl in school to get breasts

Martin said that you were the best

the boys all loved you, but i was a mess

i had to watch them try to get you undressed

We were freinds that was as far as it went

I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant

Oh it meant nothing to you

cos you were, oh so popular
