BODY WISHES

(Stewart, Cregan, Savigar, Le Mesurier)



The night closes in on another day

as the oldest game's gettin' underway

on the minds of a million people body wishes

So you climb on the carousel and take a chance

the same old ritual the same old dance

The hardest thing to resist is body wishes

If the fire down below's gettin worse and worse

you're so close to shootin' that you want to burst

Somebody's sponge needs squeezin' body wishes



What do I say

Nobody gonna tell ya

Where do I go

Somewhere someone'll have ya

Who do I tell

Anybody that'll listen

No one should know

Won't solve the problem

Body wishes, body wishes

Body wishes, body wishes



Away in the distance a baby cries

but you know somebody's by her side

The night drags on forever body wishes

You can hear the tickin' of a lonely clock

the howlin' wind that just won't stop

Somebody's cherries need pickin' body wishes



What do I say

Nobody gonna tell ya

Where do I go

Somewhere someone'll have ya

Who do I tell

Anybody that'll listen

No one should know

Won't solve the problem



It'll tear you apart like an angry sea

keep you warm like a summer breeze

It's all we've got in a cold cold world

is to love someone

Body wishes, body wishes



Somethings happenin' in the air

It feels so close but you don't know where

The poorest people's riches body wishes

And the cheatin' hearts never learn

Someday somewhere gonna be your turn

Don't start what you can't finish body wishes



What do I say

Nobody gonna tell ya

Where do I go

Somewhere someone'll have ya

Who do I tell

Anybody that'll listen

No one should know

That won't solve the problem

Where do I run

Anywhere that'll hide ya

Who'll be the one

Yeah

Body wishes, body wishes

Body wishes, body wishes

Body wishes, body wishes

Body wishes, body wishes

Body wishes, body wishes
