Casual Labour

In a river of silence
The dream of a stone is to sink
But a gentlemen's armour
Is never to say what you think

And if human achievement
Stands on the shoulders of love
How come nobody knows it
Or nobody told us it does?

I only wanted you
I only wanted you
I only wanted you
From the start

Channel the logic of men
On the continent peat
'Cause the curse of the English
Is never to think when you speak

Now the dances of London
Are taking the fun out of love
That we were just making it work
In the back of the club

I only wanted you
I only wanted you
I only wanted you
From the start

I only wanted you
I only wanted you
I only wanted you
In the dark
