I'm not giving him an answer yet I think I can do better
So we laughed Compared notes We had a drink, we had a smoke She took off her over coat I kissed a girl
So she called home to say she'd be late He said he'd worried but now he feels safe " I'm glad you're with your girlfriend, tell her hi for me " So I looked at you, you had guilt in your eyes But it only lasted a little while And then I felt your hand above my knee
And we laughed at the world They can have their diamonds And we'll have our pearls I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet She was just like kissing me I kissed a girl, won't change the world But I'm so glad I kissed a girl
And we laughed at the world They can have their diamonds And we'll have our pearls I kissed a girl
For the first time I kissed a girl And I may do it again I kissed a girl I kissed a girl

I don't believe that's correct. According to the link, the lead singer of "Build Me Up, Buttercup" was Mike d'Abo, who indeed went on to join Manfred Mann in the late '60s. But d'Abo had departed long before "Runner." The lead singer of Manfred Mann's Earth Band of that era was Chris Thompson.

Also, printed media is not to be trusted this evening
However, current events descend upon s/he whom the narrator addresses
Seraphs descend as if they were the proverbial "cats and dogs"
Also affection can be found in the total distance between here and Paradise
Chorus:
Contained by the person addressed, exists the measure of a mobile duration

Competition ensues (as in an athletic or vehicular endeavor), the narrator expresses feelings of kinship with the addressed party
Also, the narrator hears his/her motor cease operation
The narrator's emotional state is that of desiring the addressed party's company, desiring an escape (perhaps by foot)
Celestial bodies descend like the proverbial "cats and dogs"
Also, affection isn't transferable for free [Or, colloquially: affection exists for the taking, but nobody seems to want it]
[repeat chorus]
Forget departure, That defies logic Considering the totality of mega-powered males in the addressed party's possession Only subtract/remove measurements as seen on a clock Also affection can be found in the total distance between here and Paradise
