The Stranglers Follow

I’ve seen them come and I’ve seen them go.
the string of life plays out that way.
there have been times when I’ve let you know.
I’m not attracted to you today / no way / uh uh / boom boom
Theres a joke in there somewhere that’s meant for you.

Troubled thoughts race around my mind
some of the blackest you can find
and like the days that go before
We’re not connected anymore / for sure / no not now / boom boom
and you dirty little secret is all yours… to play
I wont give you away
it’s all yours to play, I wont give you away

We’ll surely turn a corner soon
And move the grey to black and white
just like the phases of the moon
Just like the rain will catch the light / you’re not mine / boom boom
cos you can’t reject the things they take away today…..
the things they take away
you can’t reject the things / the things they take away … Boom Boom
