The Undertones Album

Got to have you back, I need you
A jealous lie hurt my foolish pride
Made me break your heart
Now our love has died
I see a closing door, a door never more
A door of jealousy between your love and me

Now I face a storm of tears
You took the sunshine from my face
Now I'm just another man
Who walks the undestined way
Without your guiding hand
I can hardly tell when I'm a man
Pride made a fool of me
Now I'm drowning in misery, misery is drowning me

And I got to have you back, I need you
Between the night and day, oh, heaven speed you
'Cause I need you girl

I'm so cold, it's the loneliness
Oh, dark is the emptiness
Since you've been gone in me
Oh, gone is the love I need
Pride destroyed the love we knew
But not my need for you
Without your love around
My whole world is falling down, falling down, all around

And I've got to have you back
(Got to have you back)
(Got to have you back)
(Got to have you back)

Oh, I see a closing door
A door never more
A door of jealousy between your love and me

(Got to have you back) I'm drowning in misery
(Got to have you back) Where pride made a fool of me
(Got to have you back) My whole world is falling down
(Got to have you back) Without your sweet love around
(Got to have you back) I've got to have you back
(Got to have you back) I've got to have you back
(Got to have you back)

If hate's a pleasure
Then the well meaning isn't meant
Valentine's treatment can make it all seem heaven sent

Tempting, tempting
To keep it all a secret
Tempting, tempting
You know love's the treatment
I only wish it was mine

If he's playing cowboys or if she's acting old
Valentine's treatment can break pathetic moulds
Take that boy who hates himself and can't wait to be told
Valentine's treatment can cure that twisted soul

And love's a good word
Till spread around like so much lies
It takes a treatment to rediscover that surprise

Tempting, tempting
To keep it all a secret
Tempting, tempting
You know love's the treatment
I only wish it was mine

If he's playing cowboys or if she's acting old
Valentine's treatment can break pathetic moulds
Take that boy who hates himself and can't wait to be told
Valentine's treatment can cure that twisted soul

If I was having such a good time
It wasn't really that much fun
A counterfeit conspiracy
That's suddenly gone wrong

So come on, so come on
You're a luxury

A peculiar luxury
It always breaks my heart
You can keep your mystery
It doesn't mean a thing to me

Painted lips and L'Oreal
Are broadcast in the dark
A necessary cover up
That finally left its mark

So come on, so come on
You're a luxury

A peculiar luxury
It always breaks my heart
You can keep your mystery
It doesn't mean a thing to me

Your sneaky little schemes that show
The wolf's still at your door
A vicious little paragon
Of what you were before

So come on, so come on
You're a luxury
So come on, so come on
You're a luxury (stay away from me)
So come on, so come on
You're a luxury (stay away from me)
So come on, so come on
You're a luxury (stay away from me)

(She) She sends me underground
When it's hard to take the strain
(She) She sends me underground
When it feels like it's going to rain

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

(She) I'm wholly high in the darkest night
When suddenly I have to stop
(She) She sends me underground
With the habits that she makes me drop

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

Love before romance
Love before romance
Love before romance
Love before romance
Love before romance
Love before romance
Love before romance
Love before romance

I can't deny these foolish hands of mine
Have towed me in the dark
A collision course which has hit the rocks
Has now pierced my heart

I'm stricken down by deceptive moves
What's meant is meant to be
Who'll try console a losing side
When that losing side is me

So now I'll go and step out of line
The untouchable is a touch too fine
A crazy lust that strips me bare
A tarnished whim that will not wear

So now I'll go and step out of line
The untouchable is a touch too fine
A crazy lust that strips me bare
A tarnished whim that just will not wear

I've witnessed sin that's made me swallow deep
And haunt me till I'm dead
A silent voice that only speaks the truth
Is gagged and bound instead

So now I'll go and step out of line
The untouchable is a touch too fine
A crazy lust that strips me bare
A tarnished whim that will not wear

So now I'll go and step out of line
The untouchable is a touch too fine
A crazy lust that strips me bare
A tarnished whim that just will not wear

So now I'll go and step out of line
The untouchable is a touch too fine
A crazy lust that strips me bare
A tarnished whim that just will not wear

She looks a part of yesterday's modern girl
Another lover caught above her social world
A simple woman she's not
Sophisticated she's got
She doesn't want to be too ordinary

Hello lady driver
Bye bye baby blue
Put love under pressure
See what it can do

She didn't care as years kept crashing closer
To a serious situation getting worse
If life had been unkind
Her beauty beaten blind
She didn't want to hurt anybody

Hello lady driver
Bye bye baby blue
Put love under pressure
See what it can do

Hello lady driver
Bye bye baby blue
Put love under pressure
See what it can do

Ba da ba da ba da ba da
Ba da ba da ba da ba da
Ba da ba da ba da ba da
Ba da ba da ba da ba da
Ba da ba da ba

And if I dream, I have to dream of something
Well it doesn't mean I have to dream of you
The stains on my bed
Like the blemishes you left
Are all that reminds me of you

Hello lady driver
Bye bye baby blue
Put love under pressure
See what it can do

Hello lady driver
Bye bye baby blue
Put love under pressure
See what it can do

Makes me wonder
How to read your understanding
Makes me wonder
What's in your mind
Makes me wonder
How the flash of love keeps blinding
Makes me wonder
Time after time

Meet distant love
Meet distant love and see what's in store
Watch it evolve
A conscious way to what's now no more

But what is love?
But what is love?
A cut above
It's what gets you noticed

Makes me wonder
How to read your understanding
Makes me wonder
What's in your mind
Makes me wonder
How the flash of love keeps blinding
Makes me wonder
Time after time

I've seen the switch
I've seen the hungry looks you let slip
You fooled us all
A stupid victim under your grip

But what is love?
But what is love?
A cut above
It's what gets you noticed

Makes me wonder
How to read your understanding
Makes me wonder
What's in your mind
Makes me wonder
How the flash of love keeps blinding
Makes me wonder
Time after time

It makes me wonder (why, oh why, I wonder)
Ooh, it makes me wonder (why, oh why, I wonder)
It makes me wonder (why, oh why, I wonder)

Every night when the light has gone
I can see you carry on
Knights in armour won't rescue you
In the shadows, the naked truth

Chain of love
Don't put me away
Chain of love
Don't put me away

Any time you took my name
I had to change it back again
Caught in crossfire never worried me
I'm caught in chains deliberately

Chain of love
Don't put me away
Chain of love
Don't put me away

Take me away from this notion
I'm nervous enough
Take me away from the girl
Who's a genius for love

(She's a genius for ah ah, ah ooh)
(She's a genius for ah ah, ah ah, ah ooh)

Lonely nights like the night before
See, I've made you ask for more
Tropical fever when the heat is on
A pocket Venus, the lonely one?

Chain of love
Don't put me away
Chain of love
Don't put me away

Chain of love
Don't put me away
Chain of love
Don't put me away

(She's a genius for ah ah, ah ooh)
(She's a genius for ah ah, ah ooh)
Chain of love
(She's a genius for ah ah, ah ooh) Don't put me away
Chain of love
(She's a genius for ah ah, ah ooh) Don't put me away
Chain of love
(She's a genius for ah ah, ah ooh) Don't put me away
Chain of love
(She's a genius for ah ah, ah ooh) Don't put me away
Chain of love
(She's a genius for ah ah, ah ooh) Don't put me away
Chain of love
(She's a genius for ah ah, ah ooh) Don't put me away

In a library of fools
Where spectators hang their senses
It's alright, it's alright, yeah

In abeyance with the rules
The only sound is from the books they read
It's alright, it's alright, yeah

A tide of emotion that's supposed to show
If you surrender to me

At the tiny corporation
That's made of blood, sweat and tears
It's alright, it's alright, yeah

They cover every complication
That happens every year
And it's alright, it's alright, yeah

A tide of emotion that's supposed to show
If you surrender to me

My heart's lost since you've been gone
But you're not the guilty one
I'll go back and pick another girl again
Close my eyes 'cause I know that they're all the same

At the love parade (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love)
At the love parade (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love)
At the love parade (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love)
At the love parade

We were lovers from the start
(What's the point of it? What's the point of our love?)
But since then we've grown apart
(What's the point of it? What's the point of our love?)
Nothing now can make us lovers and we know
(What's the point of it? What's the point of our love?)
So the two of us are gonna see just what's on show
(What's the point of it? What's the point of it?)

At the love parade (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love)
At the love parade (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love)
At the love parade (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love)
At the love parade

It takes its time passing by
And gives a chance for the loving eye
So see a face and let the body try
To get them moving side by side

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love

We were lovers from the start
But since then we've grown apart
Nothing now can make us lovers and we know
So the two of us are gonna see just what's on show

At the love parade (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love)
At the love parade (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love)
At the love parade (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love)
At the love parade (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love)
At the love parade (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh love)
At the love parade

Love
Love
Love parade
Love parade
Love parade
Love parade
Love parade

Now I have cried a river since the day you said goodbye
And if you don't come back I'm going to drown in the tears I cry

Save me (Save me)
Save me (Save me)
Come on and save me
I need you so

Like falling off a mountain slope I'm sinking down so fast
Clinging to a twig of hope that this separation won't last

Oh, save me (Save me, save me)
Why don't you save me? (Save me, save me)
It's up to you to save me (Save me)
I need you so

Without you here beside me I'm only half alive
Stay away from me any longer, I can't survive

Oh, save me (Save me, save me)
Why don't you save me? (Save me, save me)
Only you can save me (Save me)
I need you so

I'm asking you to save me (Save me)
I need you so
Only you can save me (Save me)
Oh, save me, save me (Save me)

The sin of pride keeps me from walking away (don't walk away)
To join the lines of gods who think of nothing to say (think what to say)

The talk of war won't scare my intentions away (don't walk away)
But talk of love and kiss these ribbons today (think what to say)

The cost of love might make the presents seem small (don't walk away)
But with the thoughts inside that wouldn't matter at all (think what to say)

And I've lost all my friends to be yours
But pride'll still meet me I'm sure
And stop me from feeling so hurt
Pride'll still meet me

Wanting my love (come closer love)
To want me (come closer love)
Keeping that love (come closer love)
Just for me (come closer)

I've lost all my friends to be yours
But pride'll still meet me I'm sure
And stop me from feeling so hurt

The sin of pride stops me from walking away (don't walk away)
But keeps inside the things I wanted to say (think what to say)

A look of love leads me from hate to despair (don't walk away)
I look at love, it says I shouldn't be there (think what to say)

So she goes again
So she goes again
So she goes again
So she goes again
So she goes again

So she goes again
So she goes again (and again, and again)
So she goes again (and again, and again)
So she goes again (and again, and again)
So she goes again (and again, and again)
So she goes again (and again, and again)
So she goes again (and again, and again)
So she goes again (and again, and again)
So she goes again (and again, and again)
So she goes again (and again, and again)
So she goes again (and again, and again)
So she goes again (and again, and again)
