I woke up and found myself listening to Top of the Pops
1986, Chris De Burgh was singing
Lady in Red
I love you
But the walls of peace are falling down
I love you, but this is such a very
very small town
I cannot say you're my lady
Because you're somebody
else's instead
I love you,
You've made me crazy
You were my lady in Red
I've never seen you looking so lovely
As you do everyday
I want to turn to you and say
You are amazing
It's hard for me to stand by
And see you with some other guy
It's like a twist in my heart
You've tortured me apart
I was your patsy
In the assassination of your past life
You needed an assassin
Someone to blame your love on
And it either was going to blow you apart
Or it was going to make more strong
Well you're a woman, that's your love song
It just turned you more into you all along
You're like a folded samurai blade
In the heat is where your strength is made
And what am I but the turner, the swordsmith
The one who loved you but can never carry you with
Him
On your eternal motorcade
You are amazing
But I can't worship at your feet
As I suffer my defeat
Though I may have to retreat
From your campaign
You've signed the order
Brought the law forward,
Sealed
The border
And I'm stuck in Mexico city
on the train
going south
Over the Sierra Nevada
So I've never seen you looking so lovely
As you did that night
But you're like a mountain
Going out of sight
My lady in red
But the bumblebee's flight
Has ended now
