Is it hard to wait

Drawn by your mongrel heart again

If you don't answer, would you want to be found out

You duck through the wind in your old blight on the town



Love is turning you out

Sliding worry round

I try to warn its waiting game

To bring that spectre down



And would it be wrong

To clamp down on your racing heart, love

And if they'd known, what sifted down to be found out

It's not what you deserve



Love is turning you out

Sliding worry round

I try to warn its waiting game

To bring that spectre down



Faster than you were going to allow

Turn out the lights or say get out

If you don't answer, would you want to be found now

Five days on, trapped by a wave



Love is turning you out

Sliding worry round

I try to warn this waiting game

To bring that spectre down



Black corn was soaking

You'll be cut down in the seedy stairway

If you don't answer, would you want to be found now

Sapped from the bed to the window



Looking back on that time

Starting in the minds

What it is to be twenty nine

Fame sets your life down



Would it be wrong

Would it be wrong

To disappoint you now

Disappoint you now
