Nick Lowe - Pinker And Prouder Than Previous (1988) by Nick Lowe (보컬) on maniadb.com

Well I said what I wanted to say
But the words just got in the way
Maybe we can never work it out
Seems like all we ever do is scream and shout
And your drift is getting harder to catch
This love it's like a wrestling match
Do we do it til our kisses feel
like two big cuts that will not heal

[Chorus:]
Babe, there ain't no window open
No hoping for a sudden change
And there is no door to get out of before this love gets strange
And loves gets strange
We used to wonder what it's all about
But I just wanna take this garbage out
Maybe underneath the moonlight sky
I could come up with one reason to lie
We took it all for better or worse
Though we didn't take a look at it first
We were blinded by the brightest light
Just to be on our knees in the dark tonight

[Chorus]

Most spring we were doing our thing
Summer came the heat was to blame
The tears you cry and the autumnal sky (?)
And the cold winter chill baby --- you still
We said what we wanted to say
But the words just got in the way
Baby we could never work it out
Seems like all we do is scream and shout
And we're frozen in this shadowy world
Silouhettes of a boy and a girl
You were never ----
til they get so big you can't see them at all
And babe, there ain't no window open
No hoping for a sudden change
And there is no door to get out of before this love gets strange

Well you can get a hand
There's one to be had
They're all working on the other side of town

Tonight must be the night
Everybody's set their sights
And the lovers jamboree is where they're bound

Well, everybody will find someone
Someone's looking out for me

So I'm shutting up the shop
Let the loving never stop
You can drop me at the lovers jamboree

Let me tell ya...

There's something in the air
That's kicking back despair
What a strange thing, I'm feeling good tonight

The gangs and wrecking crews
Have all declared a truce
As the lovers jamboree begins to [bite]

Well now, everybody's got to get there
And I'll be taking two 'f our friends
Tell the left man be so kind
Not to call if he don't mind
He'll find me at the lovers jamboree

Let me tell ya...

Well now, everybody's got to get there
And I'll be taking two 'f our friends

Tell the postman hold my mail
Or redirect it to the jail
Tell the Hebrew and the Greek
To get the God up good and steep
Tell the meek the mild the [hoax in] lame
The sisters of mercy, they're shrouded in flame
The Church and him are sharing the blame
For the lovers jamboree

For the lovers jamboree
The lovers jamboree

Have you ever heard a love song that you didn't understand
Were you ever in a teahouse on the Island of Japan
And have you ever traveled over many thousand miles
To see a pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style.

They've read it in the tea leaves and it's written in the sand
I found love by the heartful in the foreign distant land
Tell the homefolks that I'm happy with someone who's true I know
I love a pretty Geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow.

[Instrumental]

I have stood and watched the sunrise by the waters of the sea
And wondered how much beauty in this whole world can that be
My dreams are all worth dreaming and it makes my life worth while
To see a pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style.

(They've read it in the tea leaves and it's written in the sand
I found love by the heartful in the foreign distant land)
Tell the homefolks that I'm happy with someone who's true I know
I love a pretty Geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow...

Can't you tell my love's a growing?
Feel it, ain't it showing?
Oh, you must be a'knowing
I've got a big, big love
It ain't the kind to be concealing
The kind to be revealing
It ain't a little bitty feeling
I've got a big, big love for you
And it's time we done some walking
And time we done some talking
Well there's a great big moon above
And we've got a big, big love
It ain't infatuation
It's true love sensation
Well, not my imagination
I've got a big, big love for you
