Well we were born within one hour of each other.
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
Your name is Deborah, Deborah.
It never suited ya.
Oh they thought that when we grew up,
We'd get married, and never split up.
We never did it, although often I thought of it.

Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small,
With wood chip on the wall.
When I came around to call,
You didn't notice me at all.

I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.
Be there at 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.

You were the first girl at school to get breasts.
Martyn said that yours were the best.
The boys all loved you but I was a mess.
I had to watch them trying to get you undressed.
We were friends but 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 so popular.

Deborah do you recall?

With woodchip on the wall.

You didn't notice me at all.

Oh yeah,
Oh yeah.

Ah do you recall?
Your house was very small,
With wood chip on the wall.
When I came around to call,
You didn't notice me at all.
