Prefab Sprout - Lions In My Own Garden lyrics

Hey, I'm sorry if I go too fast
Tonight, let's pretend that this will last
I've got a dream you would
Like to sleep on too
Oh, I'm sorry to dwell on the past
I'd better say nothing at all
But, I've got this friend who thinks
He's in love with you

And it doesn't sum it up to
Say he's singing the blues
And whoever learnt to walk
In somebody else's shoes?
He's screaming because he's found
Something to lose so you're living in Eden
Where apples are good
But every narrow miracle takes place on Earth
Yes, the militia have arrived and
The percussion has come
And I'm pounding out messages
Loud on the drum
The rumours have started that
We are both young
Lions in my own garden, exit someone

That's what I'll shout when you're just, say
Out of reach and it doesn't sum it up to
Say I'm singing the blues
And whoever learnt to walk
In somebody else's shoes?
I'm screaming because I've found
Something to lose
Yeah, and it doesn't sum it up
To say I'm singing the blues
And whoever learnt to walk
In somebody else's shoes?
I'm screaming because I've found
Something to lose

And I'm pounding out messages
Loud on the drum
The rumours have started that
We are both young
Lions in my own garden, exit someone
