Temptation |
| At this stage it should be said this could be nothing |
| Or this it could be great |
| And all my grand plans could be thrown into disarray |
| But I must take the blame a half-hard word |
| A broken promise |
| Is that really you offers? |
| Is that really you’re offering me? |
| If all it takes is envy and a mention of her name |
| To drive you off the rails |
| Temptation will I survive I’m sure I will |
| The temptation is rife to follow your lead |
| Colour your eyes |
| To take your chances, to take your chances whilst |
| We have them |
| And I can’t stand to see you as drunk as you are |
| Slurring your words and staggering |
| It’s all too much for me to take in |
| So I will just find refuge in a well harvested harbour |
| Bar and I’ll be slurring my words and staggering but |
| Where’s the harm in that it seems? |
| And now you’ve seen me lost, deserted and confused |
| Is the love still there? |
| Am I the man, am I the man |
| That you imagined? |
| The temptation is rife, to follow |
| Your lead colour your eyes, to take your chances, to |
| Take your chances whilst you have them |
| You know that I hate you, but that’s not true at all |
| Sometimes I want to hold you tight and sometimes I |
| Want to throw you against the wall, but that’s not |
| Hate at all it’s love in all it’s glory all the |
| Contradictions and the questions that I don’t |
| Understand and I probably never will |
| If all it takes is envy and a mention of her name |
| To drive you off the rails |
| Temptation will I survive I’m sure I will |
| The temptation is rife to follow your lead |
| Colour your eyes |
| To take your chances, to take your chances whilst |
| We have them |
| At this stage it should be said this could be nothing |
| Or this it could be great |
| And all my grand plans could be thrown into disarray |
| But I must take the blame a half-hard word |
| A broken promise |
| Is that really you offers? |
| Is that really you’re offering me? |
| And now you’ve seen me lost, deserted and confused |
| Is the love still there? |
| Am I the man, am I the man |
| That you imagined? |
| The temptation is rife, to follow |
| Your lead colour your eyes, to take your chances, to |
| Take your chances whilst you have them |
| If all it takes is envy and a mention of her name |
| To drive you off the rails |
| Temptation will I survive I’m sure I will |
| The temptation is rife to follow your lead |
| Colour your eyes |
| To take your chances, to take your chances whilst |
| We have them |
