 Verse and chorus:
 She said "Answer me this Handsome Jack if your hands weren't tied would you consider me
 wise enough to see off your fear of heights whether real or imagined or whether flight
 or fancy? I'll teach you all that this city has taught me, I'll bow you around this
 city's boundaries"
 Tortoise Regrets Hare, Tortoise Regrets Hare, Fox Takes Hare
 And I mentioned that I'd seen you in the paper marrying some fool you'd slipped a smile
 into the picture saying "I am still the same infinite girl that you've all known and are
 there any regrets here aside my own? I sleep with your songs running up my arms and
 curling around and keeping me warm"
 Tortoise Regrets Hare, Tortoise Regrets Hare, Fox Takes Hare
 Hold on hold on
 And I tell you don't sell your love short in my prime I was a cruel and cold man but now
 I am older I present myself much warmer, anxious not to lose out on a year or two's
 favour for the sake of my red temper and you pressed sea shells in the sand and they
 spelled out your cruel cruel demands
 Tortoise Regrets Hare, Tortoise Regrets Hare, Fox Takes Hare
 Fox Takes Hare, Tortoise Regrets Hare
