My pressures building up like a boiling pot There's ice in my heart and it's getting hot I'll never understand in a million years The price of love is the pain of tears But then a change comes over me Escape! Alas! Alone! |
|
I heard it on the radio, I saw it on a TV show I read it in the Sunday papers, passion's in the air again I never had a valentine, I never had a friend of mine I never had communications, alone to make or break my heart |
|
A sentimental scene from the act of life Each has a part playing man or wife "For better or for worse" so the saying goes Growing old together 'til the curtains close I hold my head and shut my eyes Escape! At last! A lie! |
|
repeat chorus | |
And on my bed of thorns the darkness slowly forms Sweet dreams emerge from corners long concealed And in this twilight land I never understand Why walking hand in hand is so unreal |
|
repeat chorus | |

This song was later re-recorded for their first vinyl 7" single release. I'll have to find out from Ant what was on his mind when he came to write this one.
