I went into B and Q
And thought I recognized you
But I walked past and just looked in your eyes that smile
And I followed my master
Like a dog sniffs disaster
And took a right in the gardening aisle
These green machines were doing nothing for me
So I sauntered along to cements
Feeling heavier there than when I came in
I suddenly realized what gravity meant
And you and your green eyes
Oh they could have been blue
You and your eyes so Blue
Standing in the entrance to B and Q
Well I padded on down to the show room
Where the kitchen cabinets leant
I pulled out a draw just like a show groom
Who was trained to advertize kitchen equipment
But it was there I felt myself grow older
When I felt a tap on my shoulder
And in its cold grasp, I thought with a rasp
This must be my final judgement
But it was only Armitage Shanks
It was only a blast from the past
It was a chrome sea horse
Who reared up like Napolean riding a dwarf monument
And I knew exactly what it all meant
Oh and you with your eyes so Blue
Still stood in the entrance to BandQ
And gave me a glance, and I thought here's my chance
I must seize the carpe dieum day
And I had a light bulb moment
And swung right down the carpet way
But as I felt the piles, the tall and the short
I thought well if this was a flying carpet
Then Aladdin is a good sport
For I would be reaching for the futon or the duvet
Because these would be a pain in my ass anyway
Oh but you with your eyes to blue
Were still standing in the entrance to B and Q
Still on next left was the lighting
And I remembered I needed a bulb for a lamp
And it was bright too bright for the sighting
While outside it was so cold, wet and damp
And yet I bought the bulb it was E27
And it cost me all of five pounds
Five pounds a guy said, that light bulbs gone to your head
No its filament is a good buy on environmental grounds I said
in reply, as if I knew exactly what it all meant
Oh and you with your Eyes so Blue
Were just about still standing at the entrance to B and Q
And finally when I'd bought my Bulb and left the queue
I walked over to you and said hey I think I recognize your face
But you didn't take your mask off to my surprise
So I said well actually I think I recognize your eyes
Oh you with your eyes so blue
Standing in the entrance to B and Q
And you said I used to work on the tills at Smile
Oh I said that's it, the one at the top of wind mill hill?
And you said yes that's right, and then I said hmm hum
Well I'll see you later, you know and I left a bread crumb
And you picked it up and your eyes they smiled
You said see you later alligator, I said in a while crocodile
And I thought how long can this awkward scene go on
Becuase one of us has to leave soon and you work here
So I guess it will have to be me
So I said bye
And I walked away onto the rainy night pavement
As if I knew exactly what it all meant
And Oh you with your eyes so blue
were no longer standing in the entrance to B and Q
When I had to come back 45 minutes later
And get a refund on my light bulb,
because in Tescos it was four pounds cheaper
And I felt in B and Q it was oversold
So I said you with your eyes so blue
You've probably finished your shift at B and Q
and gone back home, well at least I saved
money honey on my environmentally friendly lightbulb
And then I stand in the rain outside B and Q
And I cry why, why God why? Why you?
With your eyes so blue, can go and give me so much pain
Yeah you, with your eyes so blue
I wanna cry out your name, but I never asked
Oh you in the entrance to B and Q
Why did you never take off your mask?
