You're the Why - Ian Dury, The Blockheads

I shuffled through the modes of bad behaviour

And hankered for the desolated dawn

I couldn’t cope with yet another saviour

To steer me from the way that I was born

Then like a ton of bricks the dawn descended

Recalcitrance was hurtled to the floor

The citadel lay breached and undefended

You brought a love I’d never known before

I want you 'til the seasons lose their mystery

I need you 'til the birds forget to fly

I love you more than anyone in history

Wherever there’s a wherefore you’re the why

Then like a ton of bricks the dawn descended

Recalcitrance was hurtled to the floor

The citadel lay breached and undefended

You brought a love I’d never known before

I want you 'til the seasons lose their mystery

I need you 'til the birds forget to fly

I love you more than anyone in history

Wherever there’s a wherefore you’re the why

I want you 'til the seasons lose their mystery

I need you 'til the birds forget to fly

I love you more than anyone in history

Wherever there’s a wherefore you’re the why

I want you 'til the seasons lose their mystery

I need you 'til the birds forget to fly

I love you more than anyone in history

Wherever there’s a wherefore you’re the why

I want you 'til the seasons lose their mystery

I need you 'til the birds forget to fly

I love you more than anyone in history

Wherever there’s a wherefore… you’re the whhhhyyy
