  • Once upon a time in South Africa
    I turned to you under the bleeding moon
    The ships were sailing in beneath the table top
    It was three o' clock, the night was still
    Yeah, we stayed at Joanna's for a night or two
    Though she never really saw us, we were too consumed
    We never really even got to see the place
    We were way too busy chasing number plates

    I don't even wanna go out tonight
    No, I've got you by my side
    I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl
    No, I've got you by my side, by my side

    I got to know you better on the trampoline
    Although I am aware I won't know everything
    And it's a big jump, big jump
    Pull yourself together, boy
    You haven't got forever, boy
    And if this feels like heaven, well

    I don't even wanna go out tonight
    No, I've got you by my side
    I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl
    No, I've got you by my side

    I don't even wanna go out tonight
    No, I've got you by my side
    I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl
    No, I've got you by my side

    And it's a big jump, big jump
    Pull yourself together, boy
    Big jump, big jump
    You haven't got forever, boy
    Big jump, big jump
    And if it feels like heaven, well
    Now it feels like heaven
    When it feels like heaven

    I don't even wanna go out tonight
    No, I've got you by my side
    I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl
    No, I've got you by my side

    I don't even wanna go out tonight
    No, I've got you by my side
    I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl
    No, I've got you by my side, by my side Writer/s: George Barnett, Joel Laslett Pott
