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 any more i don't believe you

i don't believe you any more 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

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 i gave you all my time
