We Will Not Be Lovers

The Waterboys

You just stepped into the maintrack 
climbed down off the fence 
Words are your weapon 
lies are your defence 
I know what you want 
and I see what you see 
You're looking for somebody 
but he isn't me 
Find yourself another 
because we will not be lovers 

How your eyes are like tortures 
and your presence is bliss 
I never knew time 
could speed and zip like this 
The touch of your flesh 
is tough to resist 
Planets collide, collide 
at the smack of your kiss 
But you can kiss your brother 
because we will not be lovers 

Now you're pulling down curtains 
You've been sparking old flames 
You've been causing disturbance 
crying for shame 
You've been Knocking on doors 
You've been abusing my name 
You've been casting up doubt 
you've been throwing your blame 
But you can throw it at your mother 
we will not be lovers 

Now the world's full of trouble 
everybody's scared 
The landlords are frowning 
cupboards are bare 
People are scrambling 
like dogs for a share 
It's cruel and it's hard 
but it nothing compared to 
What we do to each other 
to each other 

We will not be lovers! 
we will not be lovers, no 
We will not be lovers, no
