File Under Fiction lyrics

[Verse 1]
She runs her fingers down the spines
Of the books in her library
Under cover, between the sheets
Lies the man she dreams about
Constantly

[Verse 2]
It’s not a stereotype
The font of wisdom says
“Wait for the perfect first edition”
Pot boiling, bodice ripping
Perfect he

[Chorus]
Mills and Boon - file under fiction
Mr Darcy - under fiction
Red Red Rose - file under fiction

[Verse 3]
So the lovers in her life
Won’t leave the appendices
She stamps the book and bites her lip
Long overdue, left on the shelf
“Silence Please”

[Chorus]
Mills and Boon - file under fiction
Mr Darcy’s under fiction
Red Red Rose - file under fiction

[Bridge]
At the window, she will stand
Austen and Hardy in either hand
Cartland and di*kens can't give no hint
She waits for her lover to come
Out of print (Out of print)
Out of print

[Verse 4]
Late one night, she meets the man
That’s bound to set her free
With flutterin' heart she has to ask
She knows this is her only chance
Draws a breath and then at last
"Ten pence please."
[Chorus]
Mills and Boon - file under fiction
Mr Darcy’s under fiction
Red Red Rose - file under fiction

Passion Plays - file under fiction
Royal Wedding - under fiction
Lorna Doone - file under fiction

Readers' Wives - file under fiction
Mr Darcy's under fiction
Bridget Jones - file under fiction
