The Delgados - Favours Lyrics

V1
Started to fight
But I took off in fright
Could not believe
That she didn't chase me
V2
Climbed on her back
With an ambush attack
Down came the force
And down came the briefcase

V3
Quiet before
Then you came to the fore
Not unsurprised
Still happy to see you

V4
You know there's no chance
Not a sniff of romance
And I'm thinking this is the end of the line

Chorus
And you're feeling fine
Are you looking for favours
Returned for your crime
Help me to stand
Help me to say
That I don't want to be here
I don't want to stay
I just want away

V5
A hit for a feel
With unconquered appeal
You locked the door
And I started to tremble

V6
Touch without touch
Are we feeling too much
I can't decide
If I'm feeing able
V7
Eyes that don't meet
Are we too scared to speak
I can't provide
What you are requesting

V8
You know there's no chance
Not a sniff of romance
And I'm thinking this is the end of the line

Chorus
And you're feeling fine
While you're looking for favours
Returned for your crime
Help me to stand
Help me to say
That I don't want to be here
I don't want to stay
I just want away

(M8)

Chorus
And I, I'll try to feel fine
While I'm taking orders from bottles of wine
Help me to stand
Help me to say
That I don't want to be here
I just want away

Touch without touch
Feel without feel
Are we both really hoping
This just isn't real
Help me to stand
Help me to say
That I don't want to be here
I don't want to stay
I can't give today
