The Divine Comedy - Norman and Norma lyrics

Norman and Norma got married in Cromer
April 1983 it could have been warmer
But Norman and Norma
Were happy as they’d ever been
They flew to Majorca and swam in the water
It felt just like having a bath
The piña coladas hit Norma hard
And she fell into bed with a laugh
And she said

Oh, Norman
It’s never ever felt like this before
And, oh, Norman
I’ve never really known your kiss before
Oh no, Norman, Norman

Norman and Norma had three lovely daughters
Nadia, Nora and Neive
The firm Norma worked at
Wouldn’t take her back after maternity leave
They dreamt of Majorca but couldn’t afford to
Go on Norman’s salary
So they went to Cromer, got double pneumonia
And Norma remembered when she used to say

Oh, Norman
It’s never ever felt like this before
And, oh, Norman
I’ve never really known your kiss before
Oh no, Norman, Norman

Twenty years on and the children have gone
And they’re both at a bit of a loss
They’ve tried salsa classes
And growing tomatoes
But nothing is getting them off
Then one day in Clacton
There’s a re-enactment
Of Normans and Saxons, and this
Gets their juices flowing
Before long they’re going
And fighting like it’s 1066! And she says

Oh, Norman
It’s never ever felt like this before
And, oh, Norman
I’ve never really known such bliss before
Oh no, Norman

Oh, no, Norman, yeah
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, Norman
It’s never ever felt like this before
And, oh, Norman, Norman norman
