Thursday's Child Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram

I swear I wasn't cat-napping, no 

To edge into your life 

I didn't notice no sad thing, it's a sun dance 

To the strange strains that you entice 

Now you may walk into an ocean view 

Exciting it's like you have understood 

And I was just talking at you talking at you 

For the good inside, the good inside of us 

Do you understand me? No, you're a kind of dream 

But somewhere in the scheme of things 

We'll find who's Thursday's child 

We don't have to undo you or entertain your kind 

Only reason I talk to you is 'cos 

I think you maybe, a heart attack is blind 

And checking out your resume and making out your plans 

The kisses are not something we can talk about 

They happened and you laughed about it, laugh out loud 

Do you understand me? No, you're a kind of dream 

But somewhere in the scheme of things 

We'll find who's Thursday's child 

Once is our boast, do you? 

Would you only excite me? 

To join us is a talking clock he tells us everything we want him to stop 

But somewhere in the corner he's a-laughin', he's a-crying out loud 

For some kind of attention which isn't shrouded by 

Nicety is something which hangs around this stage 

Believe me when I tell you 

You can act around it mewl and puke about it 

I don't want to hurt you I just want to join in 

This is a kindly creamer, a kindly crematorium 

Do you understand me? No, you're a kind of dream 

But somewhere in the scheme of things 

We'll find who's Thursday's child
