Marc Almond - If You Need lyrics

You've understood nothing

If you need trains to fleet to adventure

And white ships to take you away

To see the sun in your eyes

To see the songs you can't sing

Then

If you don't believe in tomorrow

And tomorrow to be able to hope

To find again in the hope

That slipped from your hand

To find again the hand

That your hand has left

Then

If you need words pronounced by the old

To help you justify all your renunciations

If poetry to you is no more than a game

If all your life is only a growing old

Then

If you need boredom

To help you see the found

And the noise of town

To satiate remorse

And then weakness

To help you seem good

And then anger

To help you seem strong

Then, then

You've understood nothing

Nothing......nothing

You've understood nothing
