Intro

 Well we were born within an hour of each other

Our mothers said we could be sister and brother

 Your name is deborah. Deborah, it never suited you

 And they said that when we grew up

We'd get married and never split up

 We never did, although i often thought of it

 Oh deborah, do you recall?

Your house was very small

With woodchips on the wall

 And when i came round to call

You didnt notice me at all . . . .

 And i said, lets all meet up in the year 2000

won't it be strange when we're all fully grown

 Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road

I never knew that you'd get married

I would be living down here on my own

 On that damp and lonely thursday years ago

(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
