Great Missenden is an affluent village of some 2,000 residents in the Misbourne Valley in the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire, England, situated between the towns of Amersham and Wendover, with direct rail connections to London Marylebone. It closely adjoins the villages of Little Kingshill, Little Missenden and the larger village Prestwood. The narrow and historic High Street is bypassed by the main A413 London to Aylesbury Road. The source of the Misbourne is to be found just north of the village, although the upper reach of the river runs only in winter and the perennial head is in Little Missenden. The village is now best known as home to the late Roald Dahl, the internationally famous children's author.
In recent years the town has featured heavily in "Best Places to Live" lists. The Guardian, for example, featured an article referring to how the village has been "prime stockbroker belt for over a century" and remarked favourably on its "ancient churches, beech woods, deep valleys, rolling Chiltern Hills, higgledy-piggledy streets. That's why Dahl chose to live here." The paper also mentions its "grand piles tucked away in the folds of the Chilterns, all paddocks, ponies and leafy lanes, such as Dahl's, Martinsend Lane, or Nags Head Lane." The Telegraph, meanwhile, lists Great Missenden in its "List of Britain's richest villages." The Telegraph also ranked the village #4 in its "Best Places to Raise a Family in the UK" 2015 survey, dubbing it a "gem of a town."
Come on over
Let me watch you
Let me hold you
Let me touch you
Right or wrong
I should have stayed up 'till the break of dawn
Ever since our eyes did meet
I long to see
Your eyes
Surprised me like a moon on a cowboy movie screen
I never found out what it means!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life [on you]
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
Come on over
Let me watch you
Let me hold you
Let me touch you
I'm right, you're wrong
You should have come to me before too long
You'll never leave my sight again
To keep you then
Your eyes
Deny me like the sun on a night sky movie scene
And I just don't care what it means!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life [on you]
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
And I hate to be the one
The one to drop you the bomb
You wouldn't wait around
But I'll be watchin' you
Woooooo you!
Woooooo you! YEAH you
Woooooo you!
Woooooo you! YEAH you
Woooooo
Woooooo
I'll watch your every move
You can't know we can't hurt
You got no choice I got you!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life [on you]
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on!
I'll waste my life
I'll waste my life
