Hostage Songtext
von Glenn Tilbrook

It′s been a long time since the two of us were joined up as one
We had some good times for a few years, we forgot to have fun
So splitting up was never what either of us intended
Now it's all past we′re being brave enough to try and be friends

Dinner at your house

We sit around and have a drink, catch up on people we know
A little talk, "Could I appreciate you having a go?"
After a while you find a dull time for a smoke and then he says
"I'm tired, excuse me if I stretch out on the sofa to rest"

Dinner at your house


You have a weary look on your face
As if you're not in the right place
Happy you say so, I would guess not though
It gives no pleasure to see
You look just like a hostage to me

He′s fast asleep, the TV′s droning on about something boring
You flinch when he shouts to be quiet and then returns to his snoring
You look embarrassed, whisper "sorry" as we clear away the dishes
A glimpse I wish I hadn't seen how your relationship is

Dinner at your house

You have a weary look on your face
As if you ended up in the wrong place
Happy you say so, I would guess not though
It gives no pleasure to see
You look just like a hostage to me
Happy you say so, I would guess not though
It gives no pleasure to see
You look just like a hostage to me


He loses his temper that easily
There′s two good reasons for me to worry
