Artist: squeeze
Song: tears for attention
(difford/tilbrook)
Tears for attention, heard all through the night
What is it you want from me, the last seconds of the fight
Kisses of corruption, tempt the spider from his web
Caught between the white sheets that have fallen from your bed
Heart for inspection, check the beat against the pain
The fight that came to break us up puts us back together again
Twitches of excitement give away my secret thoughts
Love was a book at bedtime, now that book has learned to talk
I get tears for attention
Kisses of corruption
With you
When I'm with you
Tears for attention dry upon a smiling face
Apologies and promises bring love back together again
Kisses of affection, lips that touch without a trace
The idea of conception puts the smile back on my face
I get tears for attention
Kisses of affection
And I do when I'm with you
