Alphabet City Lyrics - 1987

[ Buy Alphabet City ]

To all of those who had their doubts

Now those doubts... i forgive them

To everyone who's led one life

Then love life... it's humble rhythm

To all of those who harbour dreams

All you get... is what you're given



Meanwhile the maximum... maximum goes down



Right from the start

I knew you'd break my heart

Jealous lover... jealous lover



Rope tied and bound

I been lost and found

Jealous lover... jealous lover



Jealous of my loving

Jealous of my leaving...jealous

Jealous of my living

Jealous of my breathing

Jealous lover... jealous lover



If all they say and do were true

Just like you... i'd be with 'em

But lies survive... and cut right through

While the truth... remains forbidden

For every single point of view

Then there's two... that must be hidden



Meantime the maximum... maximum goes down



Right from the start

I knew you'd break my heart

Jealous lover... jealous lover



Rope tied and bound

I been lost and found

Jealous lover... jealous lover



Jealous of my loving

Jealous of my leaving...jealous

Jealous of my living

Jealous of my breathing

Jealous lover... there's no other



Meantime - the maximum... maximum

Nothing more and nothing less

Grip tight - the maximum... the maximum

You say no... i say yes

Don't be... don't be... don't be

Jealous lover - jealous lover
