You just stepped into the main track
Climbed down off the fence
Words are your weapon
Lies are your defence
I know what you want
And I see what you see
You're looking for somebody
But he isn't me
Find yourself another
Find yourself another
Because we will not be lovers

Your eyes are like torches
Your presence is bliss
I never knew time
Could speed and zip like this
The touch of your flesh
Is hard to resist
Planets collide
At the smack of your kiss
But you can kiss your brother
Kiss your brother
Because we will not be lovers

You've been pulling down curtains
Sparking old flames
Causing disturbance
Crying for shame
Rapping on doors
Abusing my name
Casting up doubt
And throwing the blame
But you can throw it at your mother
At your mother
Because we will not be lovers

The world's full of trouble
Everybody's scared
Landlords are frowning
Cupboards are bare
People are scrambling
Like dogs for a share
It's cruel and it's hard
But it's nothing compared to what we do to each other
To each other
We will not be lovers

North London July 1985

On "Fisherman's Blues" and "Live Adventures"
