lyrics

Communist

when the times seem to pass you by
dreaming the same dream every night, living without a feel for life

like a snake at the foot of love
missing the bit before the flood, trying your best to spoil the fun

nightmares and vampires and s&m queens
are giving you grief in your room and that's all you can see

that's what you're up against, you're up against
the lonely part is hanging out
and still you can't get off the fence
cos nothing gets you high enough or low enough to feel some love

when the high only brings you down,
feeling unmoved on holy ground, little defeats in coastal towns

like a spy in the house of love
watching the duchess do her stuff, needing a touch that never comes

nightmares and vampires and private school fakes
are giving you grief in the papers so make no mistake

that's what you're up against, you're up against
the lonely part is hanging out
and still you can't get off the fence
cos nothing gets you hard enough or soft enough to feel some love

oh love, you've been trying to be free
oh love, you've been looking at me
but love, you've been holding the key, waiting for me

that's what you're up against, you're up against
your sad and lonely heart is hanging out, oh my
you've got to get your spirit straight don't let it falter till it's gone
till it's gone

I'm showing you sun through the morning mist, a bloodied wrist
and you might call yourself an ambulance or a communist but baby this is it
