Lost Decade

(Stephen Duffy/Nick Rhodes)

 

 

When I came back from the east

I found you in uniform

Standing to attention tall

No glimpse of the human heart

I wanted you in my arms

But I was all you scorned

And I fell hard for you

As I fell far for you

 

Take me now, show me you love me

Take me now, show me what you take me for

In this lost decade

Could you love me like you did before?

Did before

You did before

 

Telephoning city to city

Notified of second thoughts

Of how you came to trust in me

While all around you were betrayed

Now your suitcase stands in the doorway

You turn the lights out in the hallway

Call a taxi say good-bye

And one fine morning

 

Take me now, show me you love me

Take me now, show me what you take me for

In this lost decade

Could you love me like you did before?

Show me you love, show me what you take me for

In this lost decade

Could you love me like you did before?

You did before

You did before

 

(We all make mistakes you said

You were lucky to escape I said

Tomorrow we will run much faster

& one fine morning)
