Gather round and let me tell you lies There is only one thing worth your time But I would gladly cash my chips anyhow For twenty seconds here and now It continues to be fact You can't beat that minute when Two lonely lives began to overlap And all the answers come Transformation's done And you're so much more than one It continues to be fact You'll argue when it lets you down It's enough sometimes to count you out Before too long it's going to get hard To hide how desperate you are It continues to be fact You can't beat that minute when Two lonely lives began to overlap And all your answers come Transformation's done And you're so much more than one It continues to be fact It continues to be fact You can't beat that minute when Two lonely lives began to overlap And all your angels come The transformation's done You feel so much more than one It continues It continues to be It continues to be fact This is my favourite song And you're not here to share it Everybody's dancing close I don't think I can bear it I'm putting all these records on So they can hold on tight This was our favourite one Why aren't you by my side All the angels come Gather round, let me tell you all those lies That's how it is with love sometimes
Commentary
This is one of our own recordings which I've always found strangely mesmerising, a song which came out of nowhere, just accreted in the studio, and has a little bit of all of us in it. It appeared as the extra track on a CD single for One Step Behind You, some years later.
