lyrics

The Writing

He wrote to her again today
His hand was shaking and his skin was pale
He couldn’t find the words to say
All of his emotions were scrambled
Hissing like the eggs in the saucepan
Hissing like the snakes in the pit
Hissing like an angry Desperate Dan
Hissing ‘this is it!’

She wrote to him about her work
She’d been dancing on the Saturday
Behind that letter something lurks
She couldn’t quite express it
Rattling like a train at full steam
Rattling like an un-oiled excuse
Rattling like a door in the slipstream
Rattling and shaking loose

Crying for a friend or pen pal
Crying for a soul to confide
Crying for a lover but somehow
Crying left them drowning inside (rpt)


Across their posts their dreams collide
Mistakes are not drawn in fine type
Is passion spelled out on the screens
Or is it lying to their hearts
Pounding like the drums in an epic
Pounding like a quake at full bore
Pounding and so energetic
Pounding them into the floor

Crying for a friend or pen pal
Crying for a soul to confide
Crying for a lover but somehow
Crying left them drowning inside (rpt)
