From the 1992 album “0898,” by Beautiful South:
There’s no more little secrets we haven’t yet disclosed
We bore the living daylights of anyone too close
And all our cards at Christmas are written to us both
Count them up who’s got the most?Said we’d be close
Said we’d work perfectly
Said that we’d toast
Beautiful companyCloser than a sister to her baby brother
Closer than a cat to the child that she’ll smother
It’s too close for a lover
It’s too close for a lover
We are each other
We are each otherWe’ve been through all positions and this one’s definitely best
You move Middle East and I’ll move Wild West
What happened to our friendship we could easily have guessed
Add it up we’re self-possessedSaid we’d be true
Said we’d be so so proud
Just me and you
We’d shout it out aloudCloser than a sister to her baby brother
Closer than a cat to the child that she’ll smother
It’s too close for a lover
It’s too close for a lover
We are each other
We are each otherRemember we went shopping and we went by piggyback
I shaved all my legs and you grew hairs upon your back
Well no-one’s ever been since to this lover’s shack
It’s a cul-de-sacSaid we’d be close
Said we’d work perfectly
Said that we’d toast
Beautiful companySaid we’d be true
Said we’d be so so proud
Just me and you
We’d shout it out aloudCloser than a sister to her baby brother
Closer than a secret agent working under cover
It’s too close for a lover
It’s too close for a lover
We are each other
We are each other
