Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the high-rise estate
What's at the back of your mind?
On a three-day debate
On a high-rise estate
What's at the back of your mind?
[Verse 2]
Two icy cold hands conducting the way
It's the Eskimo blood in my veins
Amid concrete and clay and general decay
Nature must still find a way
[Verse 3]
So ignore all the codes of the day
Let your juvenile impulses sway
This way and that way, this way and that way
God! How sex implores you to let yourself lose yourself
[Verse 4]
Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Let your puny body lie down, lie down
As we lie, you say
As we lie, you say
Stretch out and, stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Let your puny body lie down, lie down
As we lie, you say
[Verse 5]
Will the world end in the night-time? (I really don't know)
Or will the world end in the day-time? (I really don't know)
And is there any point ever having children? (Oh I don't know)
What I do know is we're here and it's now
[Verse 6]
So stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
There is no debate, no debate, no debate
How can you consciously contemplate?
When there's no debate, no debate
Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait, wait
Wait, wait
Wait
