What Child Is This?
Midnight Lyrics

Well, you know the kind of people That put creases in their old Levis? Sure The type that use expressions like tongue in cheek and send up?
Do you know those people who try to act cool and hip but come off as phony and over-the-top? That's the kind of people I'm talking about.

I don't like these kind of people No? May I state here and now,
I can't stand those kind of people, if it's not too much trouble for me to say so.

But I can't help thinking, All the time Im thinking of her
It's impossible for me to stop thinking of her, she's always on my mind.

What's she like? In time, in time Let me put it another way
Can you describe her personality to me? Maybe later. Actually, let me try a different approach.

Welt, you know how the English upper classes are thick and Ignorant and not used to being with people? That's true
You know how some people from high society act like they're better than everyone else and don't know how to interact with others? That's a real thing.

You're familiar with the scum from Notting Hill and Moseley The C N D ? Sure They describe nice things as wonderful She never would say that, She's totally different in every way
Have you heard people from that particular part of London, or a certain political organization, describe everything as amazing? She's not like that at all, she stands apart from those kinds of people.

What's she like In time, in time Tell me, what's she like? Come again? Tell me, what's she like? In time in time
Can you describe her personality to me again? When the time is right. What do you mean? Can you tell me now? Not yet, but soon.

Well, this is what she's like I would like to express myself at this point Go ahead
Well, let me tell you what she's like. Can I speak my mind? Of course, please do.

Bill, you know the newly wealthy peasants With their home bars and hi fis? Eh, I'm not sure actually
Do you know people who suddenly became wealthy and now show off their possessions, like fancy stereos and personal bars? Hmm, not really.

You know, the ones who parade all their possessions And put fabulous and super in each sentence Oh yeah, I know the ones
You know, the people who talk about how great everything they own is? Oh yeah, I get it.

Well I don't really like these scumbags May I be clear on this point. Sure She's not a bit like that No, nothing like that
I really can't stand those kind of people, just to clarify. But she's nothing like them, not even a little bit.

What's she like? In time, in time Tell me, what's she like? Bill, I'm trying to tell you Oh well I'll tell you what she's like
Can you describe her personality to me yet? I'm trying, hold on. Alright, I'll tell you.

Given half a chance I will make this clear Just what she's like
If I get the opportunity, I'll make sure to describe her personality in detail.

I'll present a picture of what she's like You'll be in no doubt as to what she's like But listen close Listen close now here
I'll give you an accurate depiction of what she's like, so you have no confusion. Pay attention.

Come on, are you gonna' tell us what she's like or not Oh yeah, I have every intention. I'll tell you now, listen
Can you please hurry up and tell us what she's like? Certainly. Here's what I can say right now.

Go on, Go on, Do you get my drift? Oh yeah, I'm starting to get the picture
Keep going, I'm interested. Alright, here's what I mean. Do you understand me? Yes, I think I understand.

Well listen, I can expand on this if you'd like Yeah, if you would Oh, I see, I see She must be something Yeah, she is.
I can give you more details if you're interested. Sure, tell me more. Oh, now I understand. She sounds really interesting. Yes, she's amazing.

Well how did all this happen Just all at once really. The Italians have a word for it What word what is it? A thunderbolt or something What, you mean the Italian word for thunderbolt) Yeah, something like that I don't speak Italian myself you understand
So how did you two meet and fall in love? It just sort of happened suddenly. In Italian, they have a term for it. What term? Like, a lightning bolt or something. You mean 'fulmine'? Yes, that's the one. I don't actually speak Italian, you know.

Well, that's my story, The strongest thing I've ever seen
That's the tale of how I met the most remarkable person I've ever met.
