Let's Stay Up For Ever

to make a plea for disaster
read the relevant forms, and then let them undermine
all the thoughts which never leak out towards her
though I can't ignore her - such a pantomime
all these thoughts are now mine

pretend that I'm right, and I'll never tread the wrong line
some friends of mine know all the signs
but then closer to home
the same wagging tongues take us

from strength to strife
crude attempts to recall torrid hours
but they've been left behind
going from strength to strife
crude attempts to recall all the names
that we'd give to the child

with the new resolution
divine retribution won't let us victimise
let's stay up for ever
reap these rewards now
cos sleep only shows how shot and lost am i
and I'd love just to survive

let's break the back
of this prolonged and extended attack
both shaking as we go

from strength to strife
crude attempts to recall torrid hours
but they've been left behind
going from strength to strife
crude attempts to recall all the names
that we'd give to the child
