Passionate Reply (2008 Remaster)
Suddenly you find
Yourself walking for a long time
Your back's to the wall
But now you must go
Painting scenes from magazines
Sucking breath from nicotine
Standing tall against the crowd we sigh
Taking turns on telephones
Living lives in other homes
Listening for the passionate replies
Suddenly we find
Ourselves talking for a long time
Our voices are low
But now you must know
Giving all you have to give
Taking all you've got to live
Plotting all mistakes along the way
Find it hard to take it all
Reading names on other walls
Writing down the words you tried to sing
Yourself walking for a long time
Your back's to the wall
But now you must go
Painting scenes from magazines
Sucking breath from nicotine
Standing tall against the crowd we sigh
Taking turns on telephones
Living lives in other homes
Listening for the passionate replies
Suddenly we find
Ourselves talking for a long time
Our voices are low
But now you must know
Giving all you have to give
Taking all you've got to live
Plotting all mistakes along the way
Find it hard to take it all
Reading names on other walls
Writing down the words you tried to sing
