Urges Songtext
von Thomas Dolby

Early evening, he get these urges
Skin tension under leatherette
Back bar, somewhere in clubland
Cigarillo and the scene is set
See the bodies, nothing′s a-moving
Little twitches people can't explain
Young boys listen to them talking
No languages are in their veins

Same face in a new situation
The mirror ball holds mesmerised
He look around, he′s the new Clark Gable
Urges, urges


He get these urges he don't wanna talk about
Heartfelt urges
He get these urges he's not supposed to talk about
Urges, urges
These restless urges he don′t wanna talk about
Urges, urges
Can′t stop the urges
Lock them out, lock them out now

She's here, the heat is rising
She moves slowly, she′s a china doll
By degrees, you loosen her composure
She knows, he knows, she knows, he knows

One word to the man in the pulpit
She start twitching and she can't keep still
Seven inches of a black star liner
Urges, urges

She get these urges she don′t wanna talk about
Heartfelt urges
She get these urges she's not prepared to talk about
Urges, urges
These restless urges she don′t wanna talk about
Urges, urges
Can't stop the urges
Lock them out, lock them out now


Try to contain the stuff that's in your body
Bit silly when your head′s no good
When you′re ashamed of things about your body
Keep drinking like you knew you would
In the floodlight, the ape in motion
Spins circles all across the floor
Mouth the words, assume the positions
For a second you can fool them all

Girl, this time it's a new sensation
It′s never been this way before
I look at you and I feel half human
Urges, urges

I get these urges I don't wanna talk about
Heartfelt urges
I get these urges I′m not supposed to talk about
Urges, urges
These restless urges I don't wanna talk about
Urges, urges
Can′t stop the urges
Lock them out, lock them out now

Locking out those urges, yeah, yeah
Urges
Locking out those urges, yeah, yeah
Urges
Locking out those urges, yeah, yeah
Urges
Locking out those urges, yeah, yeah
