Charted: 1985 Peaked at #3 Mercury -- 880899 From the album "Songs From The Big Chair" B-Side "When In Love With A Blind Man"
I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But, traditions I can trace Against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance With a system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration Could I need you this much Oh, you're wasting my time You're just, just, just wasting time
Chorus: Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out 'til I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart Don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away
Throw it away Throw it away
I made a fire and watching it burn Thought of your future With one foot in the past now Just how long will it last No, no, no, have you no ambition My mother and my brothers Used to breathe in clean air And dreaming I'm a doctor It's hard to be a man When there's a gun in your hand Oh, I feel so
Chorus
And this my four leaf clover I'm on the line One open mind This is my four leaf clover
In my mind's eye One little boy One little man Funny how time flies
