I was travelling home on the subway |
|
When this vision got on at Maida Vale |
|
And as I casually eyed the classifieds |
|
She sat down next to me |
|
Every head in the carriage was wondering |
|
I replied with a smile on my face |
|
And as I slipped into the arms of Morpheus |
|
To daydream the rest of the way |
|
She was a smooth operator |
|
You could see it in her dress |
|
I said I'd like to see you later |
|
But I didn't want to press |
|
I was homing like a scanner |
|
Did a mental strip tease |
|
But she knew that she was special |
|
And she came on like a tease |
|
Don't want love |
|
Just looking for happiness |
|
Don't want love |
|
Not looking for tenderness |
|
Don't want love |
|
Just looking for happiness |
|
Don't want love |
|
She was a headstrong woman |
|
With a demon in her blood |
|
Through the window in her eyes |
|
I saw fire in her soul |
|
And I knew if I pursued it |
|
My fingers would be burned |
|
Like a moth round a candle |
|
I was momentarily stunned |
|
Don't want love |
|
Just looking for happiness |
|
Don't want love |
|
Not looking for tenderness |
|
Don't want love |
|
Just looking for happiness |
|
Don't want love |
|
The carriage was spinning |
|
We were up on the floor |
|
She was whirling like a dervish |
|
I was whirling like a fool |
|
My reactions were dimming |
|
Like an alcoholic haze |
|
I could hear people clapping |
|
I was stumbling in a daze |
|
I was stumbling in a daze |
|
My eyes tried to focus |
|
I was suddenly aware |
|
She was newborn naked |
|
I was altogether bare |
|
There were shouts all around us |
|
There were clothes on the floor |
|
As I tried to find my senses |
|
I was sliding down the door |
|
Down a coal black tunnel |
|
I was slipping away |
|
Then I felt the water hit me |
|
And I heard somebody say |
|
Better get yourself together |
|
This is the end of the line |
|
When I looked for my woman |
|
I'd been dreaming all the time |
|
Don't want love |
|
Just looking for happiness |
|
Don't want love |
|
Not looking for tenderness |
|
Don't want love |
|
Just looking for happiness |
|
Don't want love |
