The Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove Lyrics

I thought that you knew it all Well, you've seen it ten times before I thought that you had it down With both your feet on the ground
I love slow Slow but deep Feigned affections Wash over me
Dream on my dear And renounce temporal obligations Dream on my dear It's a sleep from which you may not awaken
You build me up, then you knock me down You play the fool while I play the clown We keep time to the beat Of an old slave drum
You raise my hopes, then you raise the odds You tell me that I dream too much Now I'm serving time In disillusionment
I don't believe you anymore I don't believe you I don't believe you anymore I don't believe you
I thought that I knew it all I'd seen all the signs before I thought that you were the one In darkness my heart was won
You build me up, then you knock me down You play the fool while I play the clown We keep time to the beat Of an old slave drum
You raise my hopes, then you raise the odds You tell me that I dream too much Now I'm serving time In a domestic graveyard
I don't believe you anymore I don't believe you
Never let it be said, I was untrue I never found a home inside of you Never let it be said, I was untrue I gave you all my time I gave you all my time
