Appearing on the band's third album, Be A Girl, the song was also included on their next album, Bagsy Me, due to the success of the re-released single and the song's appearance on the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's film William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet.
For the second UK single release the song acquired an ampersand. The B-side, Blister In The Sun, is a cover of a song by The Violent Femmes.
The song was used in Coronation Street's climax to their biggest plot, in which serial killer Richard Hillman drove into a lake with his family in the car, the song was used again in 2007 when one of his family did the same thing, but with only them in the car.
You & Me Song
The Wannadies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to make you love
'Til every thing's forgotten
I know you hate that
Bop badada, bop bop bop bop
Bop badada, bop bop bop bop
Kiss you once or twice
And every thing's forgotten
I know you hate that
I love your Sunday song
The week's not yet begun
And everything is quiet
And it's always
You and me, always and forever
You and me, always and forever
Bop bop bop bop bop
It was always you and me, always
You tell me I'm a real man
I try to look impressed
Not very convincing
But you know I love it
I know we watch TV
'Till we fall asleep
Not very exciting
But it's you and me
And we'll always be together
You and me, always and forever
Bop bop bop bop bop
It was always you and me, always and forever
You and me, always and forever
Bop bop bop bop bop
It was always you and me, always and forever
You and me, always and forever
Bop bop bop bop bop

I Am 60 years old and have been married for 40 years. My beautiful wife who I met when she was 16 and I was 17 is dying. She has terminal cancer. We had 5 children and now have 8 grandchildren. She may be gone soon but this remains - It was always you, and me, always! And Forever!

I can't fully comprehend what you're going through right now because I haven't lost anyone, but hang in there! Savior every moment with your wife and keep telling her you love her. Much respect
@philipgage1072
Thank you for that :-) I tell her I love every chance I get. I also wrote this poem for her.
We've walked this path together for more than 40 years,
We had our share and laughter, and more than our share of tears,
The path was long and tested us so many times, it's true,
But I'd have never walked this far with anyone but you.
