The Boomtown Rats - Dave lyrics

Dave'd called me up yesterday Everything he loved had moved away I felt despair come crawling through that phone I know the feeling but don't get me wrong Dave I've always thought that you were touched by fate It's never easy but why throw it away? Maybe you were both chasing this Flirt with d**h but never kiss her, Dave Oh, I keep dreaming, I'll set the scene, So what's a fiver? Why so mean? The golden moment, the blinding gleam It's all over, that's too cheap. I see you bleed, I know you feel the squeeze, But please, Believe, The view from on your knees Deceives Keep going. Dave, I know you're empty, I know you're numb And you can't function, I know that you're drunk But Dave I've always felt that you were touched by fate The thing that gets me is the stupid waste. So pick it up and don't put it down, A newer story in another town I see you bleed I know you feel the squeeze Time heals Believe, Then it will seem you dreamed these things, Long Ago.
