Lyrics for The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove

I thought that you knew it all Well you've seen it ten times before I thought that you had it down With both your feet on the ground I love slow slow but deep Feigned affections wash over me Dream on my dear And renounce temporal obligations Dream on my dear It's a sleep from which you may not awaken You build me up then you knock me down You play the fool while i play the clown We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum You raise my hopes then you raise the odds You tell me that i dream too much Now i'm serving time in disillusionment I don't believe you any more i don't believe you I don't believe you any more i don't believe you I thought that i knew it all I'd seen all the signs before I thought that you were the one In darkness my heart was won You build me up then you knock me down You play the fool while i play the clown We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum You raise my hopes then you raise the odds You tell me that i dream too much Now i'm serving time in a domestic graveyard Never let it be said i was untrue I never found a home inside of you Never let it be said i was untrue I gave you all my time i gave you all my time
