Intro :
Once up on a sig n I read a w arni ng and it sai d
'Wh en i n Ro me don't fe ed th e li ons'
Wh at i t me ant I can't h azar d a gue ss
But n ow I've le arnt my l esso n I'm a b etter p erso n
I'm fi lled up with h igh h opes and I'm f ed up with s oft so aps
L ong in the tooth and sh ort on wisdom
Up to here with the a che of it
And if the ma tchmaker calls h and in hand
With a catch of the d ay I'll rise to the b ait
But it'll still be m ore than a heart can take
M ore than feeling great
More than a tongue can t ell
I'd n eed to t ake le ave o f my s ense s to ge t a moment's re st
F ollowing in footst eps
F ootsure in fa ncy dres s
H ead in my hands I'm m aking plans
H oovering up for the d ay
When the ma tchmaker calls h and in hand
With the catch of the d ay I'll raise to the b ait
But it'll still be m ore then a heart can take
M ore than feeling great
M ore than a tongue can t ell
Instrumental : (2x)
And the i tch to get r ich quick
Has n ever been so h ard to reach
With my h ands tied beh ind my ba ck
S hin deep in cem ent a nd s and
Just like the anchor-m an I broke loose
And cr ashed to the sea bed
Cl utching the shortest st raw
And if you threw me a li ne that's as smart as you t hink
It wouldn't stop me si nking down to cry
On what fl ashed before my e yes
