The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove

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 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"
