3WW Lyrics

There was a wayward lad
Stepped out one morning
The ground to be his bed
The sky his awning

Neon, neon, neon
A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field
Can't surround so you lean on, lean on
So much your heart's become fond of this

Oh, these three worn words
Oh, that we whisper
Like the rubbing hands
Of tourists in Verona
I just want to love you in my own language

Well, that smell of sex
Good like burning wood
The wayward lad laid claim
To two thirsty girls from Hornsea
Who left a note when morning came

Girls from the pool say "Hi" (hi)
The road erodes at five feet per year
Along England's east coastline
Was this your first time?
Love is just a button we pressed
Last night by the campfire

Oh, these three worn words
Oh, that we whisper
Like the rubbing hands
Of tourists in Verona
I just want to love you in my own language

Simple song about chasing love. 3ww or three worn words is "I love you" as already stated above.

The song explores how we quickly apply the need for love to all romantic encounters. It's a reflex response. "Love is just a button we pressed."

Oh, these three worn words Oh, that we whisper like the rubbing hands Of tourists in Verona I just want to love you in my own language

The rubbing hands of tourists in Verona probably refers to people rubbing Juliet's bronze statue in Verona, Italy. Verona is the setting of Romeo and Juliet. It's supposed to promote good luck with love if you rub her breasts: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/10660642/Verona-commissions-replica-Juliet-statue-after-one-too-many-brushes-with-tourists.html

The song seems to be about a lad who is falling easily for girls and is throwing out I love you in a desperate attempt to find solidarity. Maybe he will get lucky and it will stick.
