John Foxx - When I Was A Man And You Were A Woman lyrics

We practiced ourselves every day

Every night

A man with no outline

Walking in the shadows

A girl with a blurred face

Leaning in the windows

Living our lives on the tides of this city

Moving me to you

Moving me through you

Moving you to me

Moving you through me

When I was a man and you were a woman

When I was a man and you were a woman

We met in the arcades

Where the people were meeting

We danced down the avenues

While the people were sleeping

Living our lives on the tides of this city

Moving me to you

Moving me through you

Moving you to me

Moving you through me

I was a swimmer in a foggy bar

I was trying to find some sea

I was the sound of the furniture

I was a silhouette for years

She had some blossom on the tip of her tongue

She was the surface of a trade

She was a model for an echo dress

Oh she looked so gold against the grey

When I was a man and you were a woman

When I was a man and you were a woman
