Dance
Hall DaysTake your baby by the hand
And make her do a high hand stand
Take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel
Chorus:
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said
Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there there there
Take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears
(chorus)
So take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
(chorus)
Streetcorners seem designed to lie in wait
For a chance to get involved in lovers' fate
And this one seems as good as any I've seen
So wait here with me until six-fifteen
Chorus:
I'm waiting for you
But you're very late
I know you'll come anyway
And I can hardly wait
Evidently
There's a difficulty
I know you'll come anyway
And I can hardly wait
Wait
I see you approaching you're the eyes of the crowd
The traffic and people, God they're all so loud
But in a couple of moments they will all disappear
Because we're ever so close when we're ever so near
(chorus)
Punctuality
Was never much to me
Being yourself is the main thing
Forget about the time
Forget about the time
Being yourself is the main thing
The main thing
The main thing love
Chorus:
True love is the answer to everything
True love is the answer
True love is the thing
Long days spent on the edge of space oh
Maybe someone will come along love
All day with every familiar face oh
Tells me you're very very wrong love
(chorus)
This dance could never be true enough oh
There's more that leads us to our destiny
Entranced we travelled the two of us oh
And I knew that only you could rest the world for me
I live deep in the heart of things
Feel such a part of things
That remind me of you love
And I know whatever the future brings
Wherever the pointer swings
There will always be true love
You love
(chorus)
Working at your job all day
Sends the time spinning away
Watch TV from half past six
Cook, make love and pick up sticks
But you can hear the waves
crash on the beach
At night
Books you read can sublimate
Music seems to dissipate
And maybe just a bottle of wine
And a couple of smokes
and you'll be fine
But you still hear the waves
crash on the beach
At night
You can feel the waves
crash on the beach
At night
Your lover lies beside
you fast asleep
The moonlight falls upon
the tears you weep
And you can hear
the waves crash on the beach
At night oh at night
So all you really need is love
Love to give, receive above
And then the waves will soothe your heart
Your one true love will never part
True love (Is the answer to everything
True love is the answer true love is the thing)
True love (Is the answer to everything
True love is the answer true love is the thing)
And we will lie together both asleep
The moonlight will provide the tears we weep
And as we breathe
the waves crash on the beach
At night
And as we breathe
the waves crash on the beach
At night
It's hard to recall how we were at school
Our ambitions and conditions
And our hopes for the future
The teachers we had, our mums and our dads
Their decisions and revisions
And their hopes for the future
Chorus:
But look at me now
I cannot count the cost
Of all the friends I lost
And though my heart did break
Look at me now
I'm on the candle flame
I have a different name
I have your hand to take
But look at me now - and here I am
I used to believe in an idea received
With concision, but derision
Was my natural reaction
You cannot pretend that its all gonna end
In a second to be reckoned
Like a soldier in action
(chorus)
Won't you look at me now
I got your letter
I felt so scared to
Pick up the paper knife and read within
I read the contents
I got what you meant
I know its hard for you but don't give in
Maybe, maybe slow things go fast
Maybe, maybe its all in the past
Chorus:
Oh oh if you need me don't let go - oh
(You know I'll never give up on you)
Oh oh if you need me don't let go - oh
(You know I won't give up on you)
oo oo - oo oo oo - oo
You know I'll never give up on you
I phoned the station
For information
To try and get the times of trains to York
And on the platform
I saw your hatform
A kind of halo in the crowd - crush talk
But baby baby don't run away
Maybe, maybe it's just today
(chorus)
I saw your sad face
You dropped your suitcase
And I appreciate the state you're in
You mustn't hurry
You mustn't worry
I know it's hard on you but don't give in
Maybe, maybe slow things go fast
Maybe, maybe its all in the past
(chorus)
I'm picking up paper
I'm doing the things that
I never thought I'd do again
I'm writing you letters
I'm getting the better
Of things I thought I'd lose again
Chorus:
You know I wish I was your lover
Even if you dream of him
I wish I was your brother
Baby when you dream of him
If you dream of him?
If you dream of him
I'm sitting in graveyards
I'm doing the things that
I never thought I'd do again
I got in your backyard
I got so nervous
I never thought I'd breathe again
(chorus)
Baby I need you
Baby I'm in love with you
I wish I was your lover
Even if you dream of him
(Oh if you dream, even if you dream of him
Oh if you dream, even if you dream of him)
(chorus)
Baby I need you
Baby I'm in love with you
I wish I was your lover even if you dream of him
Even if you dream of him
You had your dreams
You required a scheme of things
That evolved and resolved through the years
And I had my part
(When you wrote me out)
But you broke my heart
(When you wrote me out)
Now you spend your whole time trying
To burn me to the ground
Chorus:
Don't be my enemy
Can't you see
What you're doing to me
Don't be my enemy
Can't you see
What an effect this is having on me?
I had a thought
It was just a simple thought
Of a friend, very close, very clear
But then it stopped looking so straight
(When you wrote me out)
You found the hate
(When you wrote me out)
Now you spend your whole time trying to make
Me look like your main fool
(chorus)
If you have to leave after all that we've
Been through, been through
Been through
I can't be a friend if your heart has the end
In view, in view
In view
Chorus:
Because lovers never can be
Just devoted friends
How can we meet on a day in the week
And be true, be true
Be true
And how can I speak and pretend that I'm happy for you
For you, for you
(chorus)
How can we meet on a day in the week
And be true, be true
Be true
And how can I speak and pretend that I'm happy for you
For you, for you
These days our problems seem to come in waves
Sometimes its hard to count them all
You're reading all alone when suddenly
You feel yourself about to fall
Chorus:
If you need someone to talk it out
Then talk it out with me
If you need someone to talk it out
Then I'm the one you need
Your fear of past mistakes intensifies
Your fear of everything that's new
You need a friend around to sympathise
Someone to help you with the view
(chorus)
If you need someone to talk it out
To talk of what you see
If you need someone to talk it out
Then I'm the one you need
(chorus)
Talk it out
Talk it out oh oh
I'm the one you need
