Video Store Lyrics

Well they met at Business College

She made a ledger of his heart

He never knew how good it felt

Until they pushed their desks together

He added up the minutes they spent walking to her car

To know how much time wasted he didn't need his calculator



Then at the Graduation Party

On the final day of class

He probably drank a lot more cheap champagne

Then he intended

But the cake was almost taken

The hors-d'oevres were fading fast

And they were handing out certificates

To all those who attended

And as they leaned out on the window sill

He said "You've got fantastic people skills,

And I've a flair for accounting

We've got the rest of our lives at our disposal

So I hope you'll please consider

My following proposal:



Let's move out to the country

And we'll open up a video store



So she chose a wedding ring and then together they chose a town

The diamond in the desert, his fortune around her finger

Business names and colour schemes became points contended

And in quiet times his idea for a jingle he would sing her

Crowd for which they were hoping arrived at the grand opening

And in their hands they waved their vouchers

They locked both the doors at the end of the day's trading

And they held hands behind the counter as on the town the sun was fading



Yeah they moved out to the country and they opened up a video store

And he would always look to the quiet times

When the tapes were all returned

And they could sit back together relax and just rewind



And it seems that now the profits paid a hair salon on Saturday

And the gallop meeting on a Sunday

All perms must fall, she was starting to get lazy

And he shopped at the local Men's Land

'Cause the prices were always crazy



Yeah they moved out to the country

And they opened up a video store
