Must I paint you a picture
(Billy Bragg)
intro: - -
It's bad timeing and me
We find a lot of things out this way
And there's you
A little black cloud in a dress
The temptation
To take the precious things we have a part
To see how they work
Must be resisted for they never fit together again
If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me
If these are tears let them fall
Must I paint you a picture
About the way that I feel
You know that my love for you is strong girl
You know that my love for you is real
It took a short walk and a talk
To change the rules of engagement
While you searched frantically for reverse
And then claiming
That virtue never tested is no virtue at all
And so I lost my ignorance
-
And now the bells across the river chime out your name
I look across to them again (chorus)
All your friends sais come down
It will never fly
And on that imperfect day
We threw it all away
Crisis after crisis, with such intensity
This would never happen if we lived by the sea
Most important decisions in life
Are made between two people in bed
I found that at my own expense
And when I see you
You juts turn around and walk away like we never met
Oh we used to be so brave
I dreamt the wolrd stopped turning as we climbed the hill
I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still (chorus)
