Prefab Sprout - Hallelujah lyrics

rate me

3e

There are all kinds of things i could ask you if i choose

3d

But i don't do i dear good intentions don't survive here

33

No instead my requests tend to be dumb as hell

46

Move in close, closer still, i hear the songs of georgie gershwin

48

I swear at you 'cos i believe that sweet talk like candy rots teeth

5

25

No hallelujahs, or gifted voices

32

To sing your praises i'd be walking on wheels

26

No whoops or war crys or caramias

38

All translations will read "marry me now"

5

4b

Well i sing to express my belief that sweet talk like candy rots teeth

34

With his hand on his heart, it's a posing place

2e

While draining the mystery from your face

2c

He admits all he's chasing is the chase

1e

But you won't let him run

5

2f

You make him suffer for all he's gone done

32

He'll still be hurting when the kingdom comes

5

41

Move in close till you see, he only wants what he can't have

28

So when he gets it he's good as bad

46

Move in close, closer still, i hear the songs of georgie gershwin

2d

Oh hallelujah, how i'm walking on wheels
