Thompson Twins - You Take Me Up Lyrics
You Take Me Upas performed by the Thompson TwinsI work on the front lineI work to surviveI sleep in a feverSo this is my lifeI cry in my sleep (cry boy, cry boy)It just makes me weep when I try, how I tryI know what it means to work hard on machinesIt's a labour of love so please don't ask me whyLooking for reason (day in, day out)Trying too hard (he's trying too hard)Moving in circles (too hard, too hard)Don't get very far (don't get very far)Should I ask you to dance (dance boy, dance boy)If I promise romance, would you come for a rideI know what it means to work hard on machinesDo you believe in love, one that last for all timeCHORUSYou take me upYou take me up to the higher groundYou take me up so highNow I never wanna come back downI'm glad in these hard times (day in, day out)There's hope in your eyes (hope in his eyes)I don't need a religion (too hard, too hard)If this love never dies (love never dies)I believe in today (believe boy, believe boy)'Cause it's better this way when you work through the nightI know what it means to work hard on machines,It's a labour of love, so please don't ask me whyrepeat ChorusYou take me upSo highYou take me up
