Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Ode to Boy” dari Yazoo.

[Verse]
G                                                   Bb
When he moves I watch him from behind
                                                         C
he turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
                                          G
intent and direct when he speaks, I watch his lips
               G                                       Bb
When he drives I love to watch his hands
                                          C
white and smooth almost feminine,
                            G
almost american, I have to watch him.

[Chorus]
G                                         Bb                                          C
in his face age descends on youth, exaggeration on the truth
                                                 G
he caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot
        G                     Bb                                                              C
and everything he seems to do reflects just another shade of blue
                                                     G
I saw him searching into you and ached a while

[Verse]
G                                       Bb
I watch his lips caress the glass,
                                                 C
his fingers stroke its stem and pass
                               G
to lift a cigarette at last, he dries his eyes
G                                 Bb
from a shadow by the stair
                                 C
I watch as he weeps unaware
                                  G
that I'm in awe of his despair, but I am there

(chorus repeat)
