My Crime Of Passion Lyrics - Mike & The Mechanics

Words of warning took me by surprise 

From a voice I hardly recognised 

Well my heart was beating faster 

And my blood ran hot and cold 

I was heading for disaster 

When suddenly I realised that I had lost control 

Loaded questions played upon my mind 

Allegations I could not deny 

Well my mind was in confusion 

Had my back against the wall 

I'd been led into collusion 

Before I realised I was a victim of it all

Here's to my crime of passion 

I can't forget the look upon your face 

And to your tender mercies 

Goodbye to all the innocence we never can replace 

All of Sunday sittin' by the telephone 

Not a whisper, well I should have known 

But it seems that I'd insisted 

'Cause in spite of all you said 

I believe my words were twisted 

As line by line the promises were spinning round my head 

(Chorus) 

Waves of anger slowly do recede 

To faded memories that I'll never need 

But my mind keeps on returning to the way it used to be 

There's a flame forever burning 

There's nothing I can say to you will ever make you see 

Photos 

Here's to my crime of passion 

I just can't seem to shake it off my mind 

As for your tender mercy 

I'll never stop regretting that I left it all behind
