Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
"Stand Above Me"


we always stick together
like we're something made of glue
and justify the passion
saying one is more than two

but if you don't believe the words
they're surely to come true
there's one thing that's so obvious
but it's something you won't do

because you stand above me
but I know you don't
you say you love me
but I know you won't

we always say we're happy

when you know it's never true
but I was just so frightened
of the things you'd say and do

but if you don't believe the words
they're surely to come true
it's starting to be so obvious
that it's something you won't do

because you stand above me
but I know you don't
you say you love me
but I know you won't

but if you don't believe the words
they're surely to come true
there's one thing that's so obvious
but it's something you won't do

because you stand above me
but I know you don't
you say you love me
but I know you won't
