HE BOUGHT HER A FISH 'N' CHIP SUPPER
FOR WHAT HE HAD DONE IN THE DAY
BUT THE SMELL WAS TOO MUCH
SO HE OPENED THEM UP
AND FINISHED THEM OFF ON THE WAY

SHE’D LIT THEM A CANDLE
SHE’D TURNED ON THE OVEN
SHE’D LAID OUT THE FORKS AND THE PLATES
BUT HE’D DEMOLISHED THAT GRUB
AND IN THE SPIRIT OF TRUE LOVE
TURNED UP WITH TWO OF HIS MATES

CHORUS

AND WE’RE ALL WALKING BACK
TO OUR LOVERS
BACK TO A HUSBAND OR WIFE
HOLDING ONTO FISH 'N' CHIP SUPPERS
AND CLINGING ONTO DEAR LIFE
THEY’VE DONE IT BEFORE
THEY’LL DO IT AGAIN
FOREVER THEY’RE PUT IN THIS FIX
OUT IN THE PUB WITH SALT OF THE EARTH
OR BACK TO THEIR PARTNER WITH CHIPS




HE’D BOUGHT HER A NICE BUNCH OF FLOWERS
SO SORRY FOR WHAT HE HAD DONE
BUT BY THE 3RD PUB HE STOPPED
THE HEADS HAD BROKE OFF
AND THE BEST OF INTENTIONS HAD GONE

SHE’D CANCELLED APPOINTMENTS
FOR DOING HER HAIR
HER NAILS AND YOGA AS WELL
THEN HE TURNS UP AT DOOR
AT 20 PAST 4
AND THIS BE THE STORY HE TELL

CHORUS

AND WE’RE ALL WALKING BACK
TO OUR LOVERS
BACK TO A HUSBAND OR WIFE
HOLDING ONTO FISH N CHIP SUPPERS
AND CLINGING ONTO DEAR LIFE
THEY’VE DONE IT BEFORE
THEY’LL DO IT AGAIN
FOREVER THEY’RE PUT IN THIS FIX
OUT IN THE PUB
WITH SALT OF THE EARTH
OR BACK TO THEIR PARTNER WITH CHIPS

MIDDLE 8

HE SET OUT THIS MORNING FOR FLOWERS
HE STOPPED AT THE CHIPPY AS WELL
UNTIL ALBERT, VICTORIA
WILLIAM AND GEORGE
ALL BROKE THE ROMANTIC SPELL

CHORUS

AND WE’RE ALL WALKING BACK
TO OUR LOVERS
BACK TO A HUSBAND OR WIFE
HOLDING ONTO FISH N CHIP SUPPERS
AND CLINGING ONTO DEAR LIFE
THEY’VE DONE IT BEFORE
THEY’LL DO IT AGAIN
FOREVER THEY’RE PUT IN THIS FIX
OUT IN THE PUB
WITH SALT OF THE EARTH
OR BACK TO THEIR PARTNER WITH CHIPS

    Paul Heaton is a national treasure (he'd probably hate that though). Criminally underrated.

    🎵I can't see me lovin' nobody but you for all my life🎵
  • @user-wx6ne9ot4r
    Its not my type of music but puts a smile on yer face. And that’s the most important thing.
  • @cosmicsodared
    The most genuine man in the music industry all hail Sir Paul
  • House Martins to Beautiful South Cracking tunes. Paul is a legend in his own dinner time. Plus had a canny drink with him in the early 90’s
  • @malcbush9551
    Great tune written by a legend. This absolutely wipes the floor of the junk out on radio these days, and you can understand the lyrics!!
  • @DaDa-David
    LOVE IT! awrsome and Diane 'Philomena Cunk' Morgan - just flippin special :-)
  • @LittleDoris
    Great to see Pearce Quigley the legend in this video. The chorus has got a bit of, 'I can see me loving no body but you-for all my liiiife!!' to it which is brilliant-we need this song for summer!
  • @leander7486
