"Love At First Sight" lyrics

"Love At First Sight"

Put down as a loner with a taste for things left field
A wildness in her nature that could not be concealed
Affection for a foaming pint, longing for romance
She had her sights on haloed ground to join a Morris dance

Determination drove her, she hatched a plan that night
To dress herself in man's attire, as long as it was white
Hid away her shapely form, hiding all the signs
And found the local village hall to join the Morris lines

It was love at first sight (love at first sight)
For this vision in white (vision in white)
Come hey or high caper (hey or high capers)
She'll be mine

They came from east to west, within the village bounds
To find this happy new recruit ready for the rounds
She spoke an octave lower than she did the day before
A strange effect was on them as she danced across the floor

It was love at first sight (love at first sight)
For this vision in white (vision in white)
Come hey or high caper (hey or high capers)
She'll be mine

In came Toby Morris fool, underneath a spell
She cast amidst the hands around, she would not kiss and tell
She felt a strange attraction for the way young Toby leapt
As he looked into her eyes, her secret was not kept

Oh, take me to the village green to see the dancers there
Bringing in the steps of old, there's something in the air
So Toby and the girl he loves have really turned the tide
Now they bring their kids along, another Morris side

It was love at first sight (love at first sight)
For this vision in white (vision in white)
Come hey or high caper (hey or high capers)
She'll be mine

It was love at first sight (love at first sight)
For this vision in white (vision in white)
Come hey or high caper (hey or high capers)
She'll be mine, all mine
