Thursday lyrics

[khashka]

He said "Baby don't go"
So she sat down again
And they said they'd be friends
Her mother said
She'd told her so
She'd made her own bed
Now she'd have to lie in it
And the time goes summertime slow
And the world stops turning
And they're dancing in limbo

Took my pills today
But I don't feel better
In a funny sort of way
When it's too hot for anything
It's too hot to sleep
Your mind runs down to where
The river runs deep
And the time goes summertime slow
And the world stops turning
And they're dancing in limbo

His dream, peaches and cream
A cheesecake Betty from the celluloid screen
So close he holds out a hand
But she sleeps like a woman
When he wakes like a man
And the time goes summertime slow
And the world stops turning
And they're dancing in limbo


Khash.

If I may ask. :hi:

2. Dancing in limbo

by Kirsty MacColl.

A great artist.


Here's another of my faves of hers:



I walked down by the river where we used to go
And underneath the bridge where we first kissed
The old town that we knew is dead and gone
Gone
The sickly sun shines grayly through the mist
And like the love we used to know
The poisoned river waters flow
And then they're gone
For some of us still life moves on

Our love is just a relic of the past
You'd never recognise the old town now
Somewhere behind the concrete and the glass
The monuments of England's sacred cow
Where are all the human beings?
Have they been sent to Milton Keynes?
They used to live round here but now they're gone
For some of us still life moves on



Reference alert: Milton Keynes was a British city designed to be the perfect city, most Britons consider that hysterically funny.
