Only If for a Night (Live)
And I had a dream
About my old school
And she was there all pink and gold and glittery
I threw my arms around her legs
Came to weeping' (came to weeping)
Then I heard your voice as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised
I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning
You're the only light
Only if for a night
The grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honour, dancing on tiptoes
My own secret ceremonials. Before the service began
In the graveyard doing handstands
And I heard your voice as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised
I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning
You're the only light
Only if for a night.
My doe, my dear, my darling
Tell me what all the sighing's about
Tell me what all the sighing's about.
And I heard your voice as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh
Only if for a night
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh
Only if for a night
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh
Only if for a night
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh
Only if for a night
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh
Only if for a night
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh
Only if for a night
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh
Only if for a night
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh
