Understand - Steve Harley, Cockney Rebel

Shall I begin from here to tell everything?

Relinquish honour in order to make it ring?

You’d have to give me your promise

You won’t expect too much from this

You’ll just be happy with the gold that I bring

We’ve been playing cat and mouse now for far too long

I can’t let it simmer and just go gruelling on

I have to make my move

I’ve still got so much to prove

You can’t imagine the life that I’ve had

Chorus: If I could put the words together

If I could put the words together

If only i could put the words together

You’d understand

You’ve been a magnet stuck in my memory

I’d hide if i could but I’m red in a yellow sea

Consider me lost in aspic

(I'd give in but that’s not my schtick)

You’ll haunt me for ever, I know you will

Chorus: If I could put the words together

If I could put the words together

If only i could put the words together

You’d understand
