Tenterhooks on Tenters Street

She didn't want to meet me at the station,
She said, 'round the corner's where to point your feet,'
And so, as I stand here waiting,
I'm on tenterhooks on Tenters Street.

I'm not what you call a big sensation,
But I was brave and I asked if we could meet,
She just smiled and told me that she'd be there,
Now I'm on tenterhooks on Tenters Street.

Chorus:
And as I stand here on the corner,
I see the folks walk by dressed up so neat,
And me in the shirt my father loaned me,
And I'm on tenterhooks on Tenters Street.

Above this town the sky is darkening,
All alone, I stand in my defeat,
As this world spins on around me,
And I'm on tenterhooks on Tenters Street.

Chorus:
And as I stand here on the corner,
I see the folks walk by dressed up so neat,
And me in the shirt my father loaned me,
And I'm on tenterhooks on Tenters Street.

And I can smile if I have a reason,
I have a reason that can't be beat,
For here she comes, walking round the corner,
There's no more tenterhooks on Tenters Street.

Chorus:
As we walk down from the corner,
See the folks walk by dressed up so neat,
I don't mind the shirt my father loaned me,
There's no more tenterhooks on Tenters Street.

As we walk down from the corner,
See the folks walk by dressed up so neat,
And she walks so close beside me,
That I'm on tenterhooks on Tenters Street,
Yes I'm on tenterhooks on Tenters Street,
I'm on tenterhooks on Tenters Street.
