Eddi Reader - All Or Nothing lyrics

I whistled a tune called 'lazy' and
I tiptoed a very tight line
All of the time walking backwards
All of the time I was blind
And the only voice I was hearing
Was yours inside my head
Saying "Get yourself back to
The kitchen, girl
One true move and you're dead"

But, I found out it's all or nothing

And all of the time he fiddled
I danced to the dark of his breath
Too lazy to crumble and jumble there
Over and over he played
And the only sound I was hearing was
The one inside my own mind
Saying "Get yourself back to
The kitchen sink, girl
You've blown it one more time"

I found out it's all or nothing at all

Yes it's over, nothing lasted
Nothing's changed, yes it's over
Still you breathe

I whistled a tune called 'crazy' and
I tiptoed a very tight line
I faltered ever so slightly
All of the time I was blind
And the only voice I was hearing
Was the one inside my head
Saying "Get yourself out of the kitchen
Girl – fly to the moon instead"

I found out, it's all or nothing
I found out, it's all or nothing
Yes, it's all or nothing at all

Fly me to the moon, let me roll among
Fly me to the moon
Let me roll among the stars
