The Beautiful South - Living Thing lyrics

(ELO)

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave

It's like magic

Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin'

It's magic

Chorus

And you, and your sweet desire,

You took me, ooh, woah, higher and higher, baby

It's a livin' thing,

It's a terrible thing to lose,

It's a given thing

What a terrible thing to lose

Making believe this is what you conceived

From your worst day, (I'm thinking of dying)

Moving in line then you look back in time

To the first day (I'm thinking, I'm thinking)

Repeat Chorus

Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide

Floating downstream, (I'm thinking of dying)

So let her go don't start spoiling the show

It's a bad dream (I'm thinking , I'm thinking )

Repeat Chorus

It's a livin' thing,

It's a terrible thing to lose,

It's a terrible thing to lose

What a terrible thing to lose
