Paul Heaton - Hold Me Close (Underground) lyrics

[Verse 1] There's something very English about 'forever' 'Hugs and kisses' are English too 'Forever and a day' has to be American But 'hold me close' is me and you 'Hold me close' is me and you [Pre-Chorus 1] So pilots do it in the air And surfers do it wave after wave But soon they'll be looking limp and lifeless We'll still be at it in our grave [Chorus] (So, hold me close, underground) I'll be there, I'll wait for you In with the old and out with the new (So, hold me close, underground) I'll be there, I'll wait for you In with the old and out with the new In with the old, out with the new [Verse 2] 'Man and wife' just doesn't suit us 'Just us two' is hardly true I couldn't care about 'Mr and Mrs' But 'you and I' is me and you 'You and I' is me and you [Pre-Chorus 2] Potholers do it with the lights off Hikers do it long and slow I'll still be trying to get your clothes off When I lie six foot below [Chorus x2] [Outro] When it's turned too overbearing You and I will still be here When it's turned too overbearing You and I will still be here You and I will still be here x4
