Lyrics

Tina
Saw her this morning on the train
She's playing games
Sometimes she changes the colour of her hair
Or her skin
Does she still wear the T-shirt
With the horizontal stripes?
The one she wore
The night I almost spoke to her

Tina's always attentive to my needs
We're really good together
Cos we never meet
Tina (Tina)
Yes, tonight I have been thinking about Tina

Tina
Do you remember walking past me in the snow?
Fourteen years ago
Or on the escalator last Saturday
You were wearing rainbow gloves
With matching socks
What a display
Of everyday sexuality

Although we've never spoken
Or exchanged e-mails
We've got a strong connection
It just can't fail

Tina (Tina)
Tina (Tina)
Yes, tonight I have been thinking about...

Scenes from a marriage that never took place
Although I did once buy a ring
Yeah

Tina
There's tantalising and teasing
And I forgot what I was going to say to you
Oh... oh...
Oh Tina
What are you like?

Tina
There is no alternative
But I got to live (you know)
And I'm not living on my own
Oh no
All those places we never met
Near misses
Your lipstick on my coffee cup

Screwing in a charity shop
On top of black bin bags
Full of donations
The smell of digestive biscuits in the air

Welcome back to dreamland, we all know your name
T.I.N.A.
Still reads her book on the train
Tina (Tina)
Tina (Tina)
Tina (Tina)

Well, tonight I have been thinking about Tina (Tina)
