Understand Lyrics - Steve Harley

Shall I begin from here to tell everything ? 

Relinquish honour in order to make it ring ? 

You'd have to give me your promise 

You won't expect too much from this 

You'll just be happy with the gold that I bring 

We've been playing cat and mouse now for far too long 

I can't let it simmer and just go gruelling on 

I have to make my move 

I've still got so much to prove 

You can't imagine the life that I've had 

Chorus: if I could put the words together 

If I could put the words together 

If only I could put the words together 

You'd understand 

You've been a magnet stuck in my memory 

I'd hide if I could but I'm red in a yellow sea 

Consider me lost in aspic 

(I'd give in but that's not my schtick) 

You'll haunt me for ever, I know you will
