(heaton/rotheray)
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
