Thompson Twins

I work on the front line
I work to survive
I sleep in a fever
So this is my life
I cry in my sleep (cry boy, cry boy)
It just makes me weep when I try, how I try
I know what it means to work hard on machines
Its a labour of love so please dont ask me why
Working for a reason (day in, day out)
Trying too hard (hes trying too hard)
Moving in circles (too hard, too hard)
Dont get very far (dont get very far)
Should I ask you to dance (dance boy, dance boy)
If I promise romance, would you come for a ride
I know what it means to work hard on machines
Do you believe in love, one that lasts for all time
CHORUS
You take me up
You take me up to the higher ground
You take me up so high
Now I never wanna come back down
Im glad in these hard times (day in, day out)
Theres hope in your eyes (hope in his eyes)
I dont need a religion (too hard, too hard)
If this love never dies (love never dies)
I believe in today (believe boy, believe boy)
Cause its better this way when you work through the night
I know what it means to work hard on machines,
Its a labour of love, so please dont ask me why
Chorus
I cry in my sleep (cry boy, cry boy)
It just makes me weep when I try, how I try
I know what it means to work hard on machines
Its a labour of love so please dont ask me why
