Beautiful South The Hold Me Close (underground) Lyrics

Hold Me Close (underground) Lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)

 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

 

 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

 

 

 Hold me close, underground

 Hold me close, underground

 I'll be there, i'll wait for you

 In with the old, out with the new

 

 '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

 

 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 6ft below

 

 Hold me close, underground

 Hold me close, underground

 I'll be there, i'll wait for you

 In with the old, out with the new

 

 

 I'll be there, i'll wait for you

 Hold me close, underground

 In with the old, out with the new

 Hold me close, underground

 

 When it's turned to overbearing

 You and i will still be here
