Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just a ghost of a scenario
It's just a one-dollar secret
A lover's secret's in the UK
In the dribble of May Day
[Verse 2]
'87 and cry
'87 and cry
And there's no one in love
And there's no way to dream of love
And only you, rocket on through the sky
It couldn't be done without dogs
No, it couldn't be once without us
'87 and cry
'87 and cry
[Verse 3]
When the days were the days, boys
When the big guys wore the blue ties
Frannie dressin' down for the enemy
You saw him hangin' on the enemy
[Verse 4]
And there's no one in love
And there's no way to dream
And only you, race on to wonder where
It couldn't be done without dogs
No, it couldn't be once without us
'87 and cry
'87 and cry
[Verse 5]
Can't make love with money
Can't make mistakes with babies
Nothing looked good on you, that's how I loved you best
Now you ready for the real McCoy
[Verse 6]
Deep in the heart of Cupid
Heaven on the heels of love, ah
Just the ghost of a story
It's just one of the secrets
Baby, these were the sounds
Baby, these were the sounds
[Verse 7]
And only you whisper these things aren't true
Well, it couldn't be done without dogs
Oh, it couldn't be once without us
'87 and cry
'87 and cry
[Verse 8]
'87 and cry, cry, cry
'87 and cry
'87 and cry, cry, cry
'87 and cry
'87 and cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
'87 and cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
('87 and cry)
'87 and cry
[Verse 9]
'87 and cry
