Lyrics of The ubiquitous mr. lovegrove

I thought you knew it all,
Well you'd seen it ten times before
I thought that you had it down,
With both your feet on the ground

I love slow - slow but deep
Feigned affection - wash over me

Dream on my dear,
And renounce temporal obligation
Dream on my dear,
It's a sleep from which you may not awaken

You build me up then you knock me down,
You play the fool while i play the clown,
You keep time to the beat - of an old slave drum
You raise my hopes,
Then you raise the odds
You tell me that i dream too much
Now i'm serving time - in disillusionment

I don't believe you anymore
I don't believe you

I thought that i knew it all
I'd seen all the signs before
I thought that you were the one
In darkness my heart was won.

You build me up then you knock me down,
You play the fool while i play the clown,
You keep time to the beat - of an old slave drum
You raise my hopes,
Then you raise the odds
You tell me that i dream too much
Now i'm serving time - in a domestic graveyard

I don't believe you anymore
I don't believe you

Never let it be said - i was untrue
I never found a home inside of you
Never let it be said - i was untrue,
I gave you all my time
