The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove Lyrics - Tea Party

I thought you knew it all, 

Well you'd seen it ten times before 

I thought that you had it down, 

With both your feet on the ground 

I love slow - slow but deep 

Feigned affection - wash over me 

Dream on my dear, 

And renounce temporal obligation 

Dream on my dear, 

It's a sleep from which you may not awaken 

You build me up then you knock me down, 

You play the fool while I play the clown, 

You keep time to the beat - of an old slave drum 

You raise my hopes, 

Then you raise the odds 

You tell me that I dream too much 

Now I'm serving time - in disillusionment 

I don't believe you anymore 

I don't believe you 

I thought that I knew it all 

I'd seen all the signs before 

I thought that you were the one 

In darkness my heart was won. 

You build me up then you knock me down, 

You play the fool while I play the clown, 

You keep time to the beat - of an old slave drum 

You raise my hopes, 

Then you raise the odds 

You tell me that I dream too much 

Now I'm serving time - in a domestic graveyard 

I don't believe you anymore 

I don't believe you 

Never let it be said - i was untrue 

I never found a home inside of you 

Never let it be said - I was untrue, 

I gave you all my time
