Antony frowned as he fumbled the car keys
It wasn't my intention to star in a tragedy
I had a funny offer, it kind of appealed to me
And now I'm on the run being chased by my memories
It's harder than it looks to compose your own symphony
Oh Cleo don't you know you rewrote my history
Found me in a flea-bitten Sauchiehall speakeasy
Took me on a ride even when I was at the wheel
Your laughter and your thighs, they're making a fool of me
I'm lost in your eyes pleading for clemency
Cleopatra smiled as they drove up the shoreline
It wasn't my intention to quit my own pantomime
My stomach's turning, my heart's beating overtime
Don't care about the mountains out on the skyline
I'll look at his face from now till the end of time
Oh Tony when you found me I was leaving the bar
You swept me off my feet like some Hollywood star
We're heading for America, if we don't get that far
Well at least we'll have fun making love in a rent-a-car
I'll take a night in a Lochaber trailer park
Antony sighed as they stood on the sand
Saw the last boat putting off from the land
"Oh Cleo, I am sorry, I've ruined our plans
No money in my pocket, I'm not much of a man"
But she kissed him on the mouth, took hold of his hand
"Tony don't you see there is nothing to fear
Our ship might have sailed but I'm still standing here
So whisper sweet nothings into my ear
And hold me in your arms till the sun disappears
I'm your lover tonight and a thousand more years"
Oh love is like a ripple out on the ocean
A revolution starts with the faintest of notions
Just a little push sets the wheels in motion
Next thing you know there's a mighty commotion
I came for the view, I got caught in a hurricane
