How come it never rains in Spain?
And how come your dad looks like John Wayne?
B-movies from the past,
come back to me and you,
you know it's true,
they're watching everything we do

Put your cards upon the table,
tell your stories at the door,
playing conkers by the stable,
space invaders on the floor.

Make a date with Uncle Fester,
ride your bike across the moon,
in black and white with Jimmy Mason,
summer never comes too soon.

Your face has put me in a trance,
but when will you teach me how to dance.
Unholy visitors still walking through my bed,
and in my head,
but then there's nowhere else to go.

Put your cards upon the table,
tell your stories at the door,
playing conkers by the stable,
space invaders on the floor.

Make a date with Uncle Fester,
ride your bike across the moon,
in black and white with Jimmy Mason,
summer never comes too soon.

It's raining on the wrong side of the window,
a nation's nightmare becomes reality.
If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any,
always the one with the fork,
when they're dishing out gravy.
(repeat)

Put your cards upon the table,
tell your stories at the door,
playing conkers by the stable,
space invaders on the floor.

Make a date with Uncle Fester,
ride your bike across the moon,
in black and white with Jimmy Mason,
summer never comes too soon.
