It's a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
♪
I met Marcus, sitting at the bar
He was the kinda guy you wanted to kiss
He had the most beautiful piercing eyes
And "I-want-to-be-naughty-with-you" lips
I'm sat staring at this skateboard Scene
Ska Punk-loving guy from Rileys
And as the rain came down on that Sunday night
He went in for the kill with a glint in his eye
(Glint in his eye)
"It's a beautiful thing when boy meets boy"
That was his opening line
It's really corny and it makes me laugh sometimes
"It's a beautiful thing when boy meets boy"
That was the first thing he said
I just cringed and shook my head
I went with Marcus, back to his apartment
Hidden just behind the station
(Underground)
His walls were covered in posters of idols
And rock stars who had died too young
I'm sat wondering what the hell I'm doing
With a skateboard punk from Rileys
And just as I decide I should be making a move
He is standing in the doorway in his birthday suit
(Standing in the doorway in the nude)
"It's a beautiful thing when boy meets boy"
What a ridiculous line
It's kinda tragic but it makes me laugh sometimes
It's a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
If that was the first thing he said
Then who's the mug sitting here in his bed?
Oh Marcus, what am I to do?
I'm head over heels for you
I could stay all night
But I gotta stop dreaming
And wasting my time
Yet your chest feels like heaven
When it's pressing on mine
Well, okay...
...I'll stay
I left Marcus sleeping on his mattress
With my number on his bedside table (and £40)
I paid tribute with a little wink
To River Phoenix hanging on the wall
As I'm walking in the rain with my head held high
My phone starts ringing
I saw him again another seven times
And I still hold on to that opening line
(I still can't get over that line)
"It's a beautiful thing when boy meets boy"
What a dumb opening line
But to his credit it still gets me every time
"It's a beautiful thing when boy meets boy"
That was the first thing he said
And now I can't get him out of my head
It's a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
You gotta sieze the oppurtunity whenever you can
It's a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
And if you need a servicing, then Marcus, he is your man
