Lyrics - Flesh + Blood
Released: 1980
In The Midnight Hour
That’s when my love comes tumbling down
I’m gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there’s no one else around
I’m gonna take you girl and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour
I’m gonna wait till the stars come out
And see that twinkle in your eye
I’m gonna wait till the midnight hour
That’s when my love begins to shine
I’m gonna take you girl and hold you
And do all things I told you
In the midnight hour
Oh Yeah
Overtook me by surprise
Where was I? How was I to know?
How can we drive to a movie show
When the music is here in my car
There’s a band playing on the radio
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
They’re playing Oh Yeah on the radio
And so it came to be our song
And so on through all summer long
Day and night, drifting into love
Driving you home from a movie show
So in tune to the sounds in my car
There’s a band playing on the radio
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
They’re playing Oh Yeah on the radio
It’s some time since we said goodbye
And now we lead our separate lives
But where am I? Where can I go?
Driving alone to a movie show
So I turn to the sounds in my car
There’s a band playing on the radio
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
There’s a band playing on the radio
And it’s drowning the sound of my tears
They’re playing Oh Yeah on the radio
Same Old Scene
Of that I’m sure
But now you’ve made an offer
I’ll take some more
Young loving may be oh so mean
Will I still survive the same old scene?
In our lighter moments, precious few
It’s all that heavy weather we’re going through
When I turn the corner
I can’t believe
It’s still that same old movie
That’s haunting me
Young loving may be oh so mean
Trying to revive the same old scene
Young loving may be so extreme
Maybe we should try the same old scene
Nothing lasts forever
Of that I’m sure
Now you’ve made an offer
I’ll take some more
Nothing lasts forever
Flesh and Blood
She lies overtime
You’d nail her if you could
But she says love me for my mind
In my time
I’m not that kind
My friend’s flesh and blood
Night size, perfect ten
So rude, she’s no good
But as she says, it pays to win
Play to win
She plays to win
My friend’s flesh and blood
Street-wise for her time
You’d nail her if you could
But she says love me for my mind
In my time
In my time
My Only Love
Do I ever wonder
More than words can say
Heaven knows it’s hard enough to pray
Let me tell you something
There’s a change in me
Even now you’re gone you’ll always be
My only love
Does it seem so funny
For a fool to cry?
Do you know the meaning of goodbye?
There’s a river flowing
By a willow tree
When you need to know remember me
My only love
Let me tell you something
More than words can say
But they’re all I have, no other way
There’s a river flowing
By a willow tree
When you find you’re there remember me
My only love
Only You
Oh baby
This is nowhere
Wish I was somewhere
Over you
Your sweet lips
Tell me there’s no chance
No more romance
Over you
Oh baby
How can I go on?
Crying so long
Over you
Where strangers
Look for new love
I’m so lost in love
Over you
Some day
Yes it might come babe
When I’ll be babe
Over you
And always
Up to that moment
I will try to say
I’m over you
Eight Miles High
Eight miles high
And when you touch down
You find you're
Stranger than known
Signs in the street
That say where you're going
Are somewhere
Just being their own
Nowhere is there
Warmth to be found
Just those afraid
Of losing their ground
Rain gray town
Known for its sound
In places
Small faces abound
Round the squares
Huddled in storms
Some laughing
Some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes
And black limousines
Some living
Some standing
Alone
Rain Rain Rain
You better take what’s left
Cos I’m feeling rough
In dread of night getting high
And the name on the dress
Stretch far too long
But it pleases the mind and that’s nice
Rain, rain, rain
Getting high
She put her head on the line
When she come on strong
A single girl about town
But she stand or fall
By the way she moves
Ahead of her time she can’t lose
Rain, rain, rain
Getting high
You got trouble in mind
Gets deep ’n’ worse
Oh please don’t stop getting high
You got lust for life
It don’t seem to die
Gonna last forever getting high
No Strange Delight
So there goes your life
Disappeared from ever-loving friends
And now a slave to obsession
Your strange delight
You lie awake
How your senses ache
Shaking off the night
Is there more strange delight?
There goes your self
In the clear forever out of line
And there you’ll stray through obsession
Your strange delight
Can’t bear this heat
Your poor heart skips a beat
Tearing back the years
To when you really cared
So where’s your soul?
In the field where every story ends
And then how plain your obsession
Your strange delight
So this is hell
Not so hard to tell
Better men than I
Have tried your strange delight
Is there no strange delight?
Running Wild
There’s that melody again
Burning through my head
It does me in
Turns me right around
To my old friend
I wonder how you’ve changed
Are you still
Running wild, like you do
When all your dreams come true
Happy days you pretend
That your love will never end
There’s that melody again
Where it’s coming from
I must have been
Drifting out of time, now I’m in
Underneath you’ll find
I’m just the same
Running wild, like you do
When all your dreams fall through
I can always pretend
That I’ll fall in love again
Running wild, like we do
If only dreams came true
I could even pretend
That I’ll fall in love again
