When Boy Meets Boy Lyrics

I met Marcus sitting at the bar

He was the kind of 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

"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 doin' with this 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've gotta stop dreaming and wasting my time

Yet your chest feels like heaven when it's pressing on mine

Well ok...

...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 seize the opportunity whenever you can)

It's a beautiful thing when boy meets boy

(And if you need a servicing then Marcus, he is your man)

It's a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
