I Wanna Be Yours by John Cooper Clarke
Read by Christopher Eccleston

Let me be your vacuum cleaner
Hoovering up your dust
Let me be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust
If you like your coffee hot
Let me be your coffee pot
You call the shots
I wanna be yours

Let me be your raincoat
For those frequent rainy days
Let me be your dreamboat
When you want to sail away
Let me be your teddy bear
You can take me anywhere
I don’t care
I wanna be yours

Let me be your electric meter
I will never run out
Let me be the electric heater
You get cold without
Let me be your setting lotion
Hold your hair with deep devotion
Deep as the deep Atlantic ocean
That’s how deep is my emotion
Deep deep deep deep de deep deep
I don't wanna be hers
I wanna be yours
