When Boy Meets Boy letra

I met Marcus sitting at the bar
He was the kind of guy you wanted to kiss
He had the most beautiful piercing eyes
And I-want-to-be-naughty-with-you lips
I’m sat staring at this skateboard-scene, ska punk-loving guy from Rileys
And as the rain came down on that Sunday night
He went in for the kill with a glint in his eye

It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
That was his opening line
It’s really corny and it makes me laugh sometimes
It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
That was the first thing he said
I just cringed and shook my head

I went with Marcus back to his apartment
Hidden just behind the station (underground)
His walls were covered in posters of idols and rock stars who had died too young
I’m sat wondering what the hell I’m doin’ with this skateboard punk from Rileys
And just as I decide I should be making a move
He is standing in the doorway in his birthday suit
(Standing in the doorway in the nude)

It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
What a ridiculous line
It’s kinda tragic but it makes me laugh sometimes
It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
If that was the first thing he said
Then who’s the mug sitting here in his bed!

Oh Marcus, what am I to do?
I’m head over heels for you
I could stay all night
But I’ve gotta stop dreaming and wasting my time
Yet your chest feels like heaven when it’s pressing on mine

Well ok

I’ll stay

I left Marcus sleeping on his mattress with my
number on his bedside table (and £40)
I paid tribute with a little wink to River Phoenix hanging on the wall
As I’m walking in the rain with my head held high, my phone starts ringing
I saw him again another seven times
And I still hold on to that opening line
(I still can’t get over that line)

It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
What a dumb opening line
But to his credit, it still gets me every time
It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
That was the first thing he said
And now I can’t get him out of my head

It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
(You gotta seize the opportunity whenever you can)
It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
(And if you need a servicing then Marcus, he is your man)

It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
