lyrics

I live for the moment, though I've played with the great unemployed,
And the closet I lived in seemed to make a few girlfriends annoyed,
But with convent girl manners I'd empty the ashtray and say,
"I'll cross my legs over 'cos erotica is so passé."

You can't take what I won't give away,
My virgin summer.
You won't take what I can't give away,
My virgin summer.

My friend Sylvia's like me, though she too gets easily bored
With erogenous weekends that young studs can barely afford.
Disappointment costs dear these days when all I want is a frank, young gaze.
I'm unfulfilled in so many ways, but I'm English after all.

You won't take what I can't give away,
My virgin summer.
You can't take what I won't give away,
My virgin summer.

The stories of Holloway Road, it's so sexist I want to explode.
Why do men always have all the fun? Life's not straight, if you'll forgive the pun.
I think I'll stick to my laundry and cats, and put exotic fruit in my hats,
And deep down you're the same as me, I'd love to see what I daren't see.

You won't take what I can't give away,
My virgin summer.
You can't take what I won't give away,
My virgin summer.
