I was travelling home on the subway
|
When this vision got on at Maida Vale
|
And as I casually eyed the classifieds
|
She sat down next to me
|
Every head in the carriage was wondering
|
I replied with a smile on my face
|
And as I slipped into the arms of Morpheus
|
To daydream the rest of the way
|
|
She was a smooth operator
|
You could see it in her dress
|
I said I'd like to see you later
|
But I didn't want to press
|
|
I was homing like a scanner
|
Did a mental strip tease
|
But she knew that she was special
|
And she came on like a tease
|
|
Don't want love
|
Just looking for happiness
|
Don't want love
|
Not looking for tenderness
|
Don't want love
|
Just looking for happiness
|
Don't want love
|
|
She was a headstrong woman
|
With a demon in her blood
|
Through the window in her eyes
|
I saw fire in her soul
|
And I knew if I pursued it
|
My fingers would be burned
|
Like a moth round a candle
|
I was momentarily stunned
|
|
Don't want love
|
Just looking for happiness
|
Don't want love
|
Not looking for tenderness
|
Don't want love
|
Just looking for happiness
|
Don't want love
|
|
The carriage was spinning
|
We were up on the floor
|
She was whirling like a dervish
|
I was whirling like a fool
|
My reactions were dimming
|
Like an alcoholic haze
|
I could hear people clapping
|
I was stumbling in a daze
|
I was stumbling in a daze
|
My eyes tried to focus
|
I was suddenly aware
|
She was newborn naked
|
I was altogether bare
|
There were shouts all around us
|
There were clothes on the floor
|
As I tried to find my senses
|
I was sliding down the door
|
|
Down a coal black tunnel
|
I was slipping away
|
Then I felt the water hit me
|
And I heard somebody say
|
Better get yourself together
|
This is the end of the line
|
When I looked for my woman
|
I'd been dreaming all the time
|
|
Don't want love
|
Just looking for happiness
|
Don't want love
|
Not looking for tenderness
|
Don't want love
|
Just looking for happiness
|
Don't want love
|
