she drove her mother's car, 'twas a 2cv  i was most impressed by her casual dress  i was most impressed  inside her rented room colored deepest blue  i suppose we found some kind of happiness  to fill the emptiness  we were simply wasting precious time  hiding from the cruelest summer sky  she took her mother's car to get away from me  heaven knows that i, i can sympathize  oh i can sympathize  for we were never close if the truth were told  all we ever shared was a taste in clothes  oh we were never close  we were simply losing everything  underneath the cruelest london sun  we were simply wasting precious time  we were simply wasting precious time  we were simply wasting precious time
