You and Me (Were Meant to Be Together) Songtext
von Paul Heaton + Jacqui Abbott

Like chewing gum that′s stuck to sole of shoe
Like cotton wool and tube of superglue
Inspector Morse or Sherlock Holmes to clue
You and me were meant to be together

Sun tucked behind the cloud in sky
Behind that cloud is you and I
For ours is love that conquers any weather
You and me are part of team
A parking ticket and window screen
Like Captain Cook and HMS Endeavour
You and me were meant to be together

We're joined so tightly at the hip
Like mushy pea and salty chip
Front of council truck to lucky heather
Our tides come in and kiss the shore
You′re always mine, I'm always yours
You and me will always be together


Like deep-sea diver spoke to bed of sea
Like crow's nest hanging onto branch of tree
Like Margo, Hugo, Theo to après-ski
You and me were meant to be together

Like combine harvester to crop
Like hooker to loose a tighthead prop
Sadomasochist to chains and leather
The bird belongs in the sky above
Like you and I are glued in love
Closer than the tar is to the feather
You and me were meant to be together

We′re joined so tightly at the hip
Like mushy pea and salty chip
Front of council truck to lucky heather
Our tides come in and kiss the shore
You′re always mine, I'm always yours
You and me will always be together

Ours is an attraction even an idiot could work out
Simple as duck to water or pork and steak to gout
It need not climb up roof and get to chimney pot and shout
Like cryptic crossword clues to the clever
You and me were meant to be together


We′re joined so tightly at the hip
Like mushy pea and salty chip
Front of council truck to lucky heather
Our tides come in and kiss the shore
You're always mine, I′m always yours
You and me will always be together

You and me will always be together
You and me will always be together
