I saw you tie your shoelaces, you looked so very pleased

They came undone immediately, you sank down on your knees

Later at the light bulb change, it took you several hours

I watched you pass the air in joy

I thought the future′s ours

North Korea on holiday, Bay route for a midweek break

We could go just anywhere and make the most of our mistake

And if the sun don't shine, well, the boys don′t mind

Like a right foot in the shoe

My favourite kind of idiot is you, you, you

You're a little bit cute, but you ain't no beaut′

But I don′t date you for the view

My favourite kind of idiot is you

I saw you try to cross the road

in a fight that you still lose

Both cycle lane and bus lane, still leaving you confused

Returning half hour later, you still look pretty lost

Finally reach the other side but forgotten why you'd crossed

New York, London, Milan, Paris, none of them we′ve been

Just a one day trip to the council tip

Fulfills our every dream (dream)

And if the sun don't shine, well, the boys don′t mind

Like a right foot in the shoe

My favourite kind of idiot is you, you, you

You're a little bit cute, but you ain′t no beaut'

But I don't date you for the view

My favourite kind of idiot is you

I can′t believe the things we do when just left on our own

But madness and insanity furnish both our homes

You′re my dream idiot, I hope I'm your dream fool

Never mind the law or security door

If you weren′t meant to break the rules

And if the sun don't shine, well, the boys don′t mind

Like a right foot in the shoe

My favourite kind of idiot is you, you, you

You're a little bit cute, but you ain′t no beaut'

But I don't date you for the view

My favourite kind of idiot is you

My favourite kind of idiot is you

My favourite kind of idiot is you
