The Beautiful South - Get Here lyrics

Head over heels is fine

Unless you're in stilettos

Love knows no boundaries

Unless your in one of love's ghettos

Love climb every mountain high

But some of us are stuck in a cell

All you need is love love love

And a bloody good tunnel as well

You could get here by aeroplane or boat

Not unreasonable demands

But I could save myself the price of a ticket,

If I didn't let go of your hands

Never mind killing me getting there

But somebody has to make plans

First embrace shoots you into space

And doesn't give a damn where it lands

Why not take a chance on love?

Even at hundred to one

If promise that we'll never let love die

Within a week one of us'll be gone

Love sure makes the world go round

And takes you for a hell of a ride

But I don't wanna waste time searching for love

When it's already stood at my side

Love will make you blind to the truth

Romantic novels all tell

So I'll spend a little time romancing by myself

But that turned me blind aswell

You can get here by crossing sea or desert

I can barely make Blackpool Sands

Railroad, caravan, save it for the mad man

Lets see if love just stands

Never mind killing me getting there

But somebody has to make plans

First embrace shoots you into space

And doesn't give a damn where it lands

Why not take a chance on love?

Even at a hundred to one

If we promise that we'll never let love die

Then within a week one of us'll be gone

Does the length of journey your heart makes

Really provide any proof?

All it really proves is love never moves

When it's right there under your roof

My heart is in the right place

Then what's the point in making that trip

Stay right here with your hand on my heart

See how often you cause it to skip

See how often you cause it to skip

See how often you cause it to skip
