Lyrics Precious - The Jam

Precious

Your precious love — that means so much
Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch
What I want to say — but my words just fail
Is that I need it so I can’t help myself
Like a hungry child — I just help myself
And when I’m all full up — I go out to play
But I don’t mean to bleed you dry
Or take you over for the rest of your life
It’s just that I need something solid in mine
Lonely as the moors on a winter’s morning
Quiet as the sea on a good calm night
In your tranquil shadow — I try and follow
I hear your distant show clicks
To the midnight beat —
I feel trapped in sorrow
In this imagery
But that’s how I am and why I need you so
