The Things Lovers Should Do - Chris Rea

Standing in the half-light

Wondering if he can

There stands the priest of sinners

Consolation in his hands

Though he prays that he won’t need it He keeps it by his side

Waiting for the face-up and the answer in her eyes

All while the music’s playing a backdrop serenade

There’s only one point of view

To be doing the things that lovers should do Disco-queens in dancestep

Moving face to face

All tangled up in neon, don’t think it’s some disgrace

The blue western denim

The East Coast razor edge

The European fashion

The leathers and re-treads

All while the music’s playing a backdrop serenade

There’s only one point of view

To be doing the things that lovers should do
