A Slow Soul - Scritti Politti

You, you who have no-one

There is nothing I can tell you that you need

You want for nothing

There is no-one I can show you any better

Each time you take it

It gets so hard, it gets so very hard to do — oh and

Each time we break it

Much greater than before

You, you heard all those sweet things

But you know too much to ever let it happen

You know how to listen

How to look and find there’s no-one worth your worry

Every time you wake up

It’s every time I see there’s somethin' left to do — oh and

You who have nothing

Much greater than before

(Don't need what you want)

(Don't want what you need)

You better think twice and I’ll call you at home

No-one to blame — not one single thing

There isn’t something to make you go home

(Know that I love you)

I don’t understand

(Know that I need you)

It’s just much too bad

You who have no-one

Much greater than before

You stuck in North London

Your days will drag and linger for a lifetime

You know too much baby

Than to think his gentle arms will make it better

It’s gonna beat you

You’ve seen too much to ever get to feel at ease — oh and

Y’can’t get away baby — oh no

As easy as before

Please don’t settle for less

You’re the only thing I know I really need

You — I guess you get lonely

But I know your heart won’t settle for a second

But you got more sickness

It gets so hard it gets so very hard to do — oh and

But you got more sadness

Much greater than before

Please don’t forget — oh no
