I Wanna Be Yours

"I Wanna Be Yours" is an adaptation of a poem by John Cooper Clarke, an English performance poet who first became famous during the punk rock era of the late 1970s. Clarke's work has been influential to lead-singer Alex Turner, who takes inspiration for lyrics from his poems. The Clarke poem "Out of Control Fairground" was featured in the single sleeve for Fluorescent Adolescent.

[Verse 1] I wanna be your vacuum cleaner Breathin' in your dust I wanna be your Ford Cortina I will never rust If you like your coffee hot Let me be your coffee pot You call the shots, babe I just wanna be yours [Chorus] Secrets I have held in my heart Are harder to hide than I thought Maybe I just wanna be yours I wanna be yours I wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours [Verse 2] Let me be your 'leccy meter An' I'll never run out Let me be the portable heater That you’ll get cold without I wanna be your setting lotion (Wanna be) Hold your hair in deep devotion (How deep?) At least as deep as the Pacific Ocean I wanna be yours [Chorus] Secrets I have held in my heart Are harder to hide than I thought Maybe I just wanna be yours I wanna be yours I wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours [Outro] I wanna be your vacuum cleaner (Wanna be yours) Breathin' in your dust (Wanna be yours) I wanna be your Ford Cortina (Wanna be yours) I will never rust (Wanna be yours) I just wanna be yours (Wanna be yours) I just wanna be yours (Wanna be yours) I just wanna be yours (Wanna be yours) I just wanna be yours (Wanna be yours)
