Graham Parker & The Rumour - Passion Is No Ordinary Word lyrics

rate me

It worked much better in a fantasy

Imagination's one thing

That comes easy to me

Cause this is nothing else if not unreal

When I pretend to touch you,

You pretend to feel

Passion is no ordinary word

Passion is no ordinary word

But passion is no ordinary word

Ain't manufactured

Or just another sound

That you hear at night, at night

Ain't got no idols for the screen today

Although they make a lot of noises

They got nothing to say

I try to look amazed but it's an act

The movie might be new

But it's the same soundtrack

Passion is no ordinary word

I think I heard

Passion is no ordinary word

I think, I bet

Passion is no ordinary word

Ain't manufactured

Or just another sound

That you hear at night

Say how it feels real useless, ain't it?

Wait until it bites right down inside you

The world is easy when you're just playin' around with it

Everything's a thrill

And every girl's a kill

And then it gets unreal

And then you don't feel anything

You don't feel anything,

You don't feel anything

An object of desire you don't desire to be

I bet the shop window dummies give in just as easily

I try to stop

But have to make you drop down to the floor

Moanin' in the darkness as we fake some more

Passion is no ordinary word

I think I heard

Passion is no ordinary word

I tell you babe,

Passion is no ordinary word

Ain't manufactured

Or just another sound

That you hear and

Passion is no ordinary word

I tell you true,

Passion is no ordinary word

I bet, I bet,

Passion is no ordinary word

Ain't manufactured

Or just another sound

That you hear at nights, at nights

Just another sound that you hear at night

Ain't just another sound, a sound

That you hear at night

Ain't just another sound,

A sound that you hear at night

Ain't just another sound,

A sound that you hear at night

Ain't just another sound,

A sound that you hear at night

It ain't just another sound,

A sound that you hear at night
