[Mobley - body english lyrics]
Darling, when we're older
We won't ever have to
Worry about the things we worry 'bout now
I got a plan to fix it all
Down on the docks, I heard 'em whispering
A fury about a freighter with
A hole in the bow
There's a chance to take a haul
But these broken bones may never heal again
These broken bones may never mend
I'll wait for his shift
Go in through the guardhouse
The bleary-eyed old watchman is never awake
Got a man on the ship
There to cart all the jewels out
The stevedores are in for a third of the take
And I don't think they're onto me
There comes a time to take
The things you're owed
There comes a time to take
From down in the hold
I hear bedlam and boot heels
My callow young accomplice is dimeing me out
All our precious plans and wishes
Are nothing more than body English
We're drunken little giants
Boxing the clouds
I love you, but they'll never let me go
I love you, but they'll never let me go
I know that you want it to be
The way I said it would be
And I'm wrong for every lie I've ever told
The city's gonna claim another life
As they watch it unfold with a passing spite
That they save for my kind
I love you, but they'll never let me go
I love you, but they'll never let me go
Please let me go oh, let me go
We won't ever have to
Worry about the things we worry 'bout now
I got a plan to fix it all
Down on the docks, I heard 'em whispering
A fury about a freighter with
A hole in the bow
There's a chance to take a haul
But these broken bones may never heal again
These broken bones may never mend
I'll wait for his shift
Go in through the guardhouse
The bleary-eyed old watchman is never awake
Got a man on the ship
There to cart all the jewels out
The stevedores are in for a third of the take
And I don't think they're onto me
There comes a time to take
The things you're owed
There comes a time to take
From down in the hold
I hear bedlam and boot heels
My callow young accomplice is dimeing me out
All our precious plans and wishes
Are nothing more than body English
We're drunken little giants
Boxing the clouds
I love you, but they'll never let me go
I love you, but they'll never let me go
I know that you want it to be
The way I said it would be
And I'm wrong for every lie I've ever told
The city's gonna claim another life
As they watch it unfold with a passing spite
That they save for my kind
I love you, but they'll never let me go
I love you, but they'll never let me go
Please let me go oh, let me go
