She said meet me at the gates at 8
  Leave now don't be late
  She said one day she'd walk away cause I'm always late
  Thought things were OK
  Didn't care though anyway
  Say sorry babe, I had to meet a mate, tempting fate
  We first met through a shared view, she loved me and I did too
  It's now 7:50 getting ready better be nifty
  Do my hair quickly, step out it's cloudy
  Mate bells me to borrow money, I got two Henry's and a dealer to pay
  Call up on geezers to rid these green trees of my reeking jeans
  Got a you think I care outglaring geezers stares
  I'm here and I'm there
  Couldn't see past the end of my beer
  What was getting near, all the silence after the cheers
    [Chorus]
    She said meet me at the gates
  Don't be late, but pretty soon the day came for change
  And I was glad she never walked away
  So Im choosing what to wear, doing my hair with an hour to spare
  When my life went pear, she'd been there with a thick stare
  Big wheel climed to the top, geezer scares bounced off
  Standing at the top of this huge mountain, smiling and shouting
  Spring flowers sprouting, not one inch of doubt in my mind as I reached the gates
  Came round the corner at a rate
  Risked her love but Im gonna set things straight
  Never again am I gonna be late
  Never again am I gonna be late
  Never again am I gonna be late
    [Chorus]
    I said meet me at the gates
  Leave now don't be late
  I waited for a while listening to her voicemail, mind set sail
  Then the facts turned me pale, wind rain and hail
  My fears unveiled, for my fair female
  She'd walked away, too little too late
  I step up the pace, walk past the gates, rain runs over my face
  Spirit falls from grace
  I purchase a hazy escape at the alcohol place in the chase
  Sat down I got a fat frown
  Weaping and drowning my senses
  For this love game's expensive
  I walk in a trance
  Got a wounded soldier stance
  The everyday geezers stares throw me off balance
  Now nothing holds significance
  And nothing holds relevance
  'Cause the only thing I can see is her elegance
