10CC - Shock On The Tube (don't Want Love) lyrics

rate me

I was travelling home on the subway When this vision got on at Maida Vale And as I casually eyed the classifieds She sat down next to me Every head in the carriage was wondering I replied with a smile on my face And as I slipped into the arms of Morpheus To daydream the rest of the way She was a smooth operator You could see it in her dress I said I'd like to see you later But I didn't want to press I was homing like a scanner Did a mental strip tease But she knew that she was special And she came on like a tease Don't want love Just looking for happiness Don't want love Not looking for tenderness Don't want love Just looking for happiness Don't want love She was a headstrong woman With a demon in her blood Through the window in her eyes I saw fire in her soul And I knew if I pursued it My fingers would be burned Like a moth round a candle I was momentarily stunned Don't want love Just looking for happiness Don't want love Not looking for tenderness Don't want love Just looking for happiness Don't want love The carriage was spinning We were up on the floor She was whirling like a dervish I was whirling like a fool My reactions were dimming Like an alcoholic haze I could hear people clapping I was stumbling in a daze I was stumbling in a daze My eyes tried to focus I was suddenly aware She was newborn naked I was altogether bare There were shouts all around us There were clothes on the floor As I tried to find my senses I was sliding down the door Down a coal black tunnel I was slipping away Then I felt the water hit me And I heard somebody say Better get yourself together This is the end of the line When I looked for my woman I'd been dreaming all the time Don't want love Just looking for happiness Don't want love Not looking for tenderness Don't want love Just looking for happiness Don't want love
