That Close Lyrics by Madness

A Guided Tour of Madness

2009

Ready for love
We were so close
It was scary
We were that close
I couldn't tell you

Ready for love
We were that close
To getting it right
Crashing and burning

Remember them summer days
When we took whatever came our way
And get away
Hey but not too far
And take a spin round in your rusty old car

'Cos no one else could know
What we've done and seen
No one else could see
It's all a hazy dream

Remember them summer days
When we took whatever came our way
And get away
Yeah but not too far
We take a spin round in your broken down car

Slipping and sliding
Skidding on the surface

Skidding on the surface
With the brakes jammed down
Slow motion, sliding head-on
And then we were that close

Remember them summer days
When we took whatever came our way
And get away
Hey but not too far
And take a spin round in your rusty old car

We were so close
It was scary
We were that close
I couldn't tell you

Ready for love
Ready for love

Remember them summer days
When we took whatever came our way
And get away
Yeah but not too far
And take a spin round in your broken down car

Ready for love

Remember them summer days
When we took whatever came our way
And get away
Yeah but not too far
