Last Chance on the Stairway (Live) [Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK - 1981/12/17]

[Intro]
We're gonna play a new one now
Uhm...
It's a song which has got a bit of soul in it which makes it kind of an... a new developed form us
It's a song about trying to get hold of a girl in a party and it's called; Last Chance on the Stairway

[Verse 1]
I don't remember quite how I met you, wasn't long ago
I just get a picture of sun in your eyes, the waves in your hair
Maybe it's something said in a movie or you could've said last night
It just took me out on a limb and I don't really know what I'm doing here

[Chorus]
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide
And my beat's so in time, can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right
I'm so nervous to say, tell me can't you see?
And if you want I'll fall out forеver
I can't say no more, baby dance with mе
And please don't say, leave it 'till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway

[Verse 2]
Funny it's just like a scene out of Voltaire twisting out of sight
When all the curtains are pulled back we'll turn and see the circles we've traced
Ain't no game when you're playing with fire
It doesn't seem right that we fight so the party runs on all night

[Chorus]
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide
And my beat's so in time, can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right
I'm so nervous to say, tell me can't you see?
And if you want I'll fall out forever
I can't say no more, baby dance with me
And please don't say, leave it 'till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Wonder why, what makes me rise so high
Maybe it's something they put in your perfume or the look in your eyes
It could be the atmosphere sinking, oh, I don't know what you're thinking
I don't even know what you're drinking, but it keeps this heaven alive

[Chorus]
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide
And my beat's so in time, can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right
I'm so nervous to say, tell me can't you see?
And if you want I'll fall out forever
I can't say no more, baby dance with me
And please don't say, leave it 'till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway

[Outro]
Last chance on the stairway
My last chance on the stairway
My last chance on the stairway
My last chance on the stairway
Last!
