I've got a list of the people I have known I'm never alone on the end of a phone Have we got contact You and me? Have we got touchdown Can't we be? I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat Have we got touchdown Can't we be? Have we got contact You and me?
