Album: Reading, Writing and Arithmetic
Ooh, let me take a candle to a cellar tonight and I'd like to take some matches there and set it alight.
I can, cause I've seen those kind of places before.
Ooh, I'd like to have a party in a cellar tonight and I'd love to have a party but it wouldn't be right.
I shan't, cause I've seen those kind of people before.
I won the war in the sitting room, I won the war but it cost me,
I won the war and I feel proud but I don't know why it's hard to get to sleep in my house.
Ooh, I have to pull the blankets up to cover my head
and I have to pull the blankets right up but I don't know why it's hard to get to sleep in my house.
Well, you keep following the feel of the fire, it's not difficult to see
that you're young and selfish, and liberty and money, don't go.
Let me take a candle to a cellar tonight and you should see the parties we've had before
give me the time, give me the time, give me your watchword, give me whatever you like.
I won the war in the sitting room, I won the war but it cost me,
I won the war and I feel proud, but God only knows why it's hard to get to sleep in my house.
Ooh (supercilious smile), ooh (you're supercilious so).
Well you keep following the feel of fire, it's not difficult to see that you're
beautiful and young, and critical of nothing and you keep following the feel of fire.
It's not difficult to see that you're beautiful and young, but liberty and money, don't go.
