*Tanita Tikaram (cantante inglesa)

All good children need travel and choose
drive your problems from here.
All good people read good books
now your conscience is clear.
I hear you talk girl,
now your conscience is clear.

In the morning when I wipe my brow
wipe the miles away.
I like to think I can be so willed
and never do what you say.
I'll never hear you
and never do what you say.

Look my eyes are just holograms,
look your love has drawn red from my hands,
from my hands you know you'll never be
more than twist in my sobriety,
more than twist in my sobriety.

We just picked a little empty pie
for the fun that people had at night.
Late at night don't need hostility
timid smile and forts too free.

I don't care about their different thoughts,
different thoughts are good for me.
Up in arms and chased in whole,
all God's children took their toll.

Look my eyes are just holograms,
look your love has drawn red from my hands,
from my hands you know you'll never be
more than twist in my sobriety,
more than twist in my sobriety.

Cup of tea, take time to think, yeah
time to risk a life, a life, a life.
Sweet and handsome, soft and porky,
you pig out 'til you've seen the light,
pig out 'til you've seen the light.

Look my eyes are just holograms,
look your love has drawn red from my hands,
from my hands you know you'll never be
more than twist in my sobriety,
more than twist in my sobriety.
