Lyrics for You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were Staring Straight At Me
One look sends it coursing through the veins Oh, how the feeling races Back up to their brains To form expressions on their stupid faces They don't want to say hello Like I want to say hello Well, my heartbeat's at its peak When you're coming up to speak And, oh, I'm so tense, never tenser Could all go a bit Frank Spencer And I'm talking gibberish Tip of the tongue but I can't deliver it Properly, oh, it's all getting on top of me And if it weren't this dark, you'd see how red my face has gone, yeah Everybody's trying to crack the jokes And that to make you smile Those that claim that they're not showing off Are drowning in denial But they're not half as bad as me Say anything and I'll agree 'Cause when it comes to acting up I'm sure I could write the book And now that you're more than a part in the play It's slightly easier to think what to say You had us all standing on our heads Doing our best tricks, yeah Never again Well, never again, no Will there be another one Quite as desirable as you One look sends it coursing through the veins Oh, how the feeling races Back up to their brains To form expressions on their stupid faces
