Lyrics for A Touching Display

With all the front and more besides Bitch, thrust and parry and a few asides With considerable charm You chose not to decide I really like you, becomes my massage I really want you, becomes my decision How long can we Sustain ourselves apart? The pressure's increasing It squeezes my heart I bought a ticket, you took a walk So much to say, we're unable to talk Suffering in silence, our eyes give it away So close as we part, a touching display Colouring my thoughts, predominately grey and fighting bravely Oh, will she save me? From what or who I do not know
