Muddy old man, hiding in his hood
Hunched in the shadows reading a book on Marilyn
Smiling to himself.

Pan-stick punk in black on black
Big buckled boots and a little pink rat called Josephine
Always by his side.

Everybody wants to be in love.

London lad, he’s all loved up
Lying face down in the rain and kissing the sidewalk
So passionately.

Teenage mama, pushing a pram
Dragging on a cigarette, hollers at her boyfriend
“Johnny, were have you been?”

Everybody wants to be in love.
Everybody wants to be in love.

Two sweet boys, so entwined
Make time stand still in the middle of Hoxton Square
Kissing in a wheelchair.

High Road Rasta man, waiting for a cab
Sings to his lady in the chill of a crazy night
“Don’t give up the fight…”

Everybody wants to be in love.
Everybody wants to be in love.
Wants to be in love.
Wants to be in love.
Wants to be in love.
Wants to be in love.
Wants to be in love...

Everybody wants to be in love.
Everybody wants to be in love.
Everybody wants to be in love.
Everybody wants to be in love...
