Suddenly you'll find Yourself waiting for a long time Your back's to the wall But now you must go Painting scenes from magazines Sucking breath from nicotine Standing tall against the crowd we sigh Taking turns on telephones Living lives in other homes Listening for the passionate replies Suddenly we find Ourselves talking for a long time Our voices are low But now you must know Giving all you have to give Taking all you've got to live Plotting all mistakes along the way Find it hard to take it all Reading names on other walls Writing down the words we tried to sing Suddenly you'll find Yourself waiting for a long time Your back's to the wall But now you must go Suddenly you'll find Yourself waiting for a long time --- Passionate Reply - Ultravox and Midge Ure
