Alison Moyet Album

In a fleeting moment of a restless day
Driven to distraction, I was captured by the game
I have often wondered why I ever wanted to
Leave these scattered hours behind m
And speed myself to you
I choose never to forget
I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine
Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds

Is this Love?
Set to work idle hands make these thoughts
Had I planned them they never would be teasing me
As viciously as these

I would not have believed you, had I never seen
Now you and I are intimately pictured in my dreams
I could not forsake you for tumbling away
And If I live in wonderland I'm better off this way

I choose never to forget
I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine
Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds

Is this Love?
Set to work idle hands make these thoughts
Had I planned them they never would be teasing me
As viciously as these

A wait in hope of every day
Changes come as changes may
With every fear that I allay
I have a horror of this place
Yet I'm accustomed to its face
And I am safe within its maze
But you leave me nothing in my hometown
And now you want to pull us down,
But I can hope, and I can pray, and I will stay

I traced my way from Bluebell Hill
To the park and further still
Onto the rise beyond the mounds
And from this point I can see
My life in its entirety
Mapped before me on the ground

But you leave me nothing in my hometown
And now you want to pull us down,
But I can hope, and I can pray, and I will stay

Let the cold air bite my face
For I am angry at this place
Wherein nothing stays the same
It breaks my heart to let you go
When deep inside us we both know
That you will not be back again

But you leave me nothing in my hometown
And now you want to pull us down,
But I can hope, and I can pray, and I will stay

Somewhere in the shadows of your eyes
An element that takes me by surprise
Something wants to pull me to my feet
Willing me to go into retreat
But how can I get up and walk away
When ninety-nine percent decides to stay
And watch the other fade to grey
This glorious love will tear us down
When nothing is left to turn around
And giving it all is not enough
For this glorious love

This pleasure never ought to be denied
For this is joy personified
You can talk to me of give and take
When I could take of you for takings sake
But how can I deny what's on my mind
Knowing it to be of my design
Relegated - I resign

This glorious love will tear us down
When nothing is left to turn around
And giving it all is not enough
For this glorious love

Should I be seen with you one more time
My life is really on the line
His sister said she caught me out
If this gets back I'm dead without a doubt
Try to ignore me each time we meet
Don't ever stop me in the street
He thinks I'm at the launder mat
I cant stay here he wants his washing back

So when I say - that I don't know your face
Don't feign surprise; don't betray me with your eyes
When I say - that you are out of place
Don't let them see, what you really are to me

Before this trouble blows sky-high
I have to find myself an alibi

Why do you have to get so uptight?
There's no need to be so impolite
Just give me back my negatives
And I wont tell your wife about last night

So when I say - that I don't know your face
Don't feign surprise; don't betray me with your eyes
When I say - that you are out of place
Don't let them see, what you really are to me

Don't cry
Please don't cry
I will take you somewhere
Where they cant hurt you
I wont let them hurt you now
Let them know that our love knows no shame
And we'll do it time and time and time again
'Till everything comes down

I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
Blow wind blow
Blow dust into their eyes and
Make them see that they have always been blind

Touch me
I want to wrap you in my arms and
you'll have no reason for crying
Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow
Blow dust into their eyes and help them
realise that they have always been blind
And I could show you something that you would never believe
You could never conceive the joy that I could give you

Take me
Take me
Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow dust into their eyes and
let them know that nothing that we do will ever
Never be forgotten

Blow wind blow
Blow
Blow
Blow wind blow

It's a long time since I saw you
Well you know how time can fly
It seems like yesterday we were lovers
Now we pass each other by
But if we're left alone tonight
Don't ask me to hold you tight
I go weak
I go weak in the presence of beauty

All my friends keep asking
Why I'm quiet when you're around
But they don't know I think I'm so lucky
To stop myself from falling down
So later if you're on your own
Don't ask me to take you home

I go weak
I go weak in the presence of beauty

Cos if we're left alone tonight
I'll have no choice but to hold you tight

I go weak
I go weak in the presence of beauty

Darling I love you
There's no-one above you

You're my world
I used to be your girl

She left on Sunday afternoon,
"It is the only way for everyone concerned" she said
And I could only ask her why,
But she just smiled and told me, one day I would learn
"Don't you worry, this will all make sense tomorrow
Don't be sorry that everything we shared will fade away
There's so much more to see in each new day
They'd never understand, I'm not an ordinary girl"

She took nothing but her clothes
Taking more would just remind her of her past she said
I thought I'd never laugh again
On the day I said goodbye to my best friend

"Don't you worry, this will all make sense tomorrow
Don't be sorry that everything we shared will fade away
There's so much more to see in each new day
They'd never understand, I'm not an ordinary girl"

And now I understand, she's just an ordinary girl

Is there something I should know?
It would help if you'd explain what's going on
Could you help me understand?
Just what it is that you accuse me of
Cos from the moment that I wake up
You're watching every move I make
You got me wrong this time
You got me wrong

Has this foolishness a name [who?]
Do I have to guess until I get it right
And can anybody play
Is there a limit on the floor tonight
Because if you have no objections
I'll get someone to take my place

You got me wrong this time
You got me wrong

…And you will never know for sure
Who I had stashed behind the bathroom door
I know it's hard to be right
But you'll never be wrong anymore

Has this foolishness a name
- keep it to yourself
No hear no see no speak
And nothings all you need to know

You got me wrong this time
You got me wrong

I never meant to got his far
I take back every word I said
Blame it on the weather
Tell me that I'm soft in the head
I never think before I speak
C'mon let's start this day anew
I never meant to do this
I never meant to hurt you -
You and I should not be fighting
Life's too short for citing misdemeanors
Couldn't we just laugh about it
Do we have to let it come between us

I never meant to got this far
I don't believe what I just said
I had one drink to many
I think it's time I went to bed
Tell me that we are on TV
Tell me that none of this is true
Why have you packed my cases
Who said that I was leaving -

You and I should not be fighting
Life's too short for citing misdemeanors
Couldn't we just laugh about it
Do we have to let it come between us

It's time that we both faced the fact
I'm not begging to come back
I don't believe you'd want me to
I know that I'm not good enough
I never will deserve your love
But you haven't hear me through

I can't do… without you

Every words so…
Every word's so fragile
Inside passion that feels like chasing rain
When the slowness of the day has gone
Leaving shadowlike feelings to depend upon

Every words so…
Every word's so fragile
Inside passion that feels like chasing rain

You sleep like breathing
You sleep like breath… gently

And the tease cries
Weeping listless laughter
Always thirsty like an attractive flower

When the danger in the touch is gone
Changing delicate evenings to reflective ones

And the tease cries
Weeping listless laughter
Always thirsty like an attractive flower

You sleep like breathing
You sleep like breath… gently
