Hold Me Close (Underground)

There's something very English about 'forever'

'Hugs and kisses' are English too

'Forever and a day' has to be American

But 'hold me close' is me and you

'Hold me close' is me and you

So pilots do it in the air

And surfers do it wave after wave

But soon they'll be looking limp and lifeless

We'll still be at it in our grave

Hold me close, underground

Hold me close, underground

I'll be there, I'll wait for you

In with the old, out with the new

'Man and wife' just doesn't suit us

'Just us two' is hardly true

I couldn't care about Mr and Mrs

But 'you and I' is me and you

'You and I' is me and you

Potholers do it with the lights off

Hikers do it long and slow

I'll still be trying to get your clothes off

When I lie 6ft below

Hold me close, underground

Hold me close, underground

I'll be there, I'll wait for you

In with the old, out with the new

I'll be there, I'll wait for you

Hold me close, underground

In with the old, out with the new

Hold me close, underground

When it's turned to overbearing

You and I will still be here
