Squeeze - I Can't Hold On lyrics

(difford/tilbrook) In the corner by the d.j. unit The flag of beauty my eyes salute it, She likes love By luck or labour She likes love But not for favour - can't hold on She keeps her lips on the straw she's s**ing Looks up to me but her eyes see nothing, Love's her stare The steps to her heart Love's the climb The bite not her bark. I pour the milk into the cat's saucer I'm john wayne as i'm walking towards her, She'd like to dance But not this minute She's the fish i'd love to fillet. I draw first with a stammer of verbal We dance like pigeons forever in circle, She likes to dance Her co*ktails shaken She likes love And it's temptation The lights flash green My envy lights up The lights just flash And i feel tied up, Love's for sale And i am sold on But there's no way That i can hold on I can't hold on
