Talking round in circles Trying to find the perfect words But they don't come to mind They don't want to come to mind Staying away from the subject Hoping you might say it first There's a chance that you won't That I can't afford to take Seconds turn to minutes And the minutes turn to hours How the time slips away We've covered everything under the sun And now there's nothing else to say What do you say? It's time to go But it's to late to leave So will you stay tonight? Don't keep me in the dark Why spend the after hours on your own You might spend all your life Looking for some ideal Why not change something vague For something you can feel And if you were to ask me Which choice I would make I would loose myself tonight Find myself some other day Seconds turn to minutes And the minutes turn to hours And the time slips away We've covered everything under the sun And now there's nothing else to say What do you say? It's time to go But it's to late to leave So will you stay tonight? Don't keep me in the dark Why spend the after hours on your own
Jive records wanted them to be a “chart band” They tried but were never given the airtime. This is probably their most commercial effort and it’s probably too good for the 1980s radio one crap that was being played
Talking round in circles
Trying to find the perfect words
But they don't come to mind
They don't want to come to mind
Staying away from the subject
Hoping you might say it first
There's a chance that you won't
That I can't afford to take
Seconds turn to minutes
And the minutes turn to hours
How the time slips away
We've covered everything under the sun
And now there's nothing else to say
What do you say?
It's time to go
But it's to late to leave
So will you stay tonight?
Don't keep me in the dark
Why spend the after hours on your own
You might spend all your life
Looking for some ideal
Why not change something vague
For something you can feel
And if you were to ask me
Which choice I would make
I would loose myself tonight
Find myself some other day
Seconds turn to minutes
And the minutes turn to hours
And the time slips away
We've covered everything under the sun
And now there's nothing else to say
What do you say?
It's time to go
But it's to late to leave
So will you stay tonight?
Don't keep me in the dark
Why spend the after hours on your own
Maybe the most perfect totally ignored early/mid eighties song of all. What a cracking band.
GREAT SONG :)
Love this band!
