Sugar And Spice - Madness

I thought I’d seen you round before

Then you came knocking on my door

You were only 16 years

And yet you took away all of my fears

I held your hand and then I knew

I was the one and only one for you

We were married at 21

Expecting any day our first born son

Yeah yeah yeah

And that sugar and spice

Everything was so nice

Now it’s all come undone

Has it’s course just been run

We bought a flat in Golders Green

A second hand fridge and a washing machine

You found a job in Marks and Spencers

Filling shelves sure it was pretty senseless

But every day at a half past five

I’d be waiting at the station for you to arrive

I’d take your hand and walk you home

And if it rained we’d shelter in the Hippodrome

Yeah yeah yeah

And that sugar and spice

Everything was so nice

Now it’s just not the same

It’s bitterness and pain

Oh it’s over my head

And far too much has been said

Tell me what has become

You were my number one

Oooooh

That sugar and spice

Everything nice

Or just castles of sand

And very thin ice
