Lyrics

[Stephen] We were young, maybe twenty You wore a white dressing gown Drinking wine and dancing slowly On the night I laid you down And the moonlight revealed your body As the radio played some old Phil Collins songs And we believed in something holy On the night I laid you down [Courtney] We had love in our eyes We passion in our souls There was fire in our kisses But it was not a Phil Collins song [Courtney (Stephen)] It might have been like Mike + The Mechanics (I don't know who that is) Yes, you do, he was the other guy in Genesis [Stephen (Courtney)] Mmmm, I'm pretty sure that it was Phil Collins (No, it wasn't) [Both] On the night I laid you down [Stephen (Courtney)] Any way (any way) Doesn't matter (doesn't matter) We made love (we made love) [Both] 'Til the dawn [Stephen (Courtney)] Two hearts beating (two hearts beating) Is all we heard (Oh boy, here we go) Besides that old (There was fuckin' no) [Both] Phil Collins song [Stephen (Courtney)] Well, it might have been that song from the movie with the jambox (Say Anything) That's the one (Who the hell mixes up Peter Gabriel with Phil Collins?) Well fuck you, I guess I'm no expert (no you're not) In fucking Nineties music (Eighties) Whatever [Both] On the night I laid you down On the night I laid you down [Dialog] Courtney: Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins were in Genesis. Did you know that? Stephen: Exactly. Yes. Which is why... Courtney: But, Phil Collins was the drummer and Peter Gabriel was not the drummer Stephen: No, he was the bassist. Until he was replaced... Courtney: But his music is so much different than Phil Collins Stephen: You didn't let me finish. By... ummmm Courtney: [laughing] Stephen: Okay I don't know that much about Genesis. But I know Invisible Touch had a cool hand on the cover Courtney: Unbelievable. You are so not hip Stephen: And I know that Phil Collins had an album called "No Jacket Necessary." Courtney: No Jacket Re- Required. Thank you Stephen: It was called No Jacket Re-re-re-re-required? I've never even heard of that Courtney: [laughing] Fuck you Stephen: Is that how he got Su-su-sudio? Courtney: Someone save me Stephen: You mean someone sa-sa-save me? "In your eyes..." Courtney: No! No! Stephen: That's Phil Collins! Courtney: That's Peter Gabriel!
