We Are Each Other lyrics by The Beautiful South
WE ARE EACH OTHERAdd it up, add it up, add it up
There's no more little secrets we haven't yet disclosed
We bore the living daylights of anyone too close (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 company
Closer 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 other
We've been through all the 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 possessed!
Said we'd be true, said we'd be so, so proud
Just me and you, we'd shout it out aloud
Closer 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 other
Add it up, add it up
Remember we went shopping and we went by piggy back
I shaved all my legs and you grew hairs upon your back
Well no-ones ever been since to this lover's shack
It's a cul-de-sac
Said we'd be close, said we'd work perfectly
Said that we'd toast beautiful company
Said we'd be true, said we'd be so, so proud
Just me and you, we'd shout it out aloud
Closer 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
We are each other, we are each other
