(Willcox/Darlow) The lovers are dancing like a fairy tale Their public romancing seems so unreal But they don't need it, can take or leave it It's too easy, they won't believe it Don't fall in love with a free spirit She'll disregard your heart and make you pay for it So just leave it, and just retrieve it She'll abuse it, and trash and tease it Don't fall in love, I said, don't fall in love, I said Every legend has a broken heart, every game has a go back to start So don't fall in love, I said, don't fall in love, I said Euphoria is a silver state until you wake She'll burn and deceive, starve your very needs Provoke, tease, coax you onto your knees All the lies and innocent cries That divide everything that has ever been Don't fall in love, I said, don't fall in love, I said Every legend has a broken heart, every game has a go back to start So don't fall in love, I said, don't fall in love, I said Euphoria is a silver state until you wake, until you wake, until you wake She'll take your spirit and cage it She'll take your soul and kill it She'll take your love and spill it Scoop up the debris and swallow it So don't fall in love, I said, don't fall in love, I said Every legend has a broken heart, every game has a go back to start So don't fall in love, I said, don't fall in love, I said Euphoria is a silver state until you wake So don't fall in love, I said, don't fall in love, I said Every legend has a broken heart, every game has a go back to start Toyah Willcox - vocals Peter Van Hooke - drums Simon Darlow - keyboards Ian Wherry - keyboards Al Hodge - guitar Lorna Wright - backing vocals Linda Taylor - backing vocals Toyah Willcox - backing vocals
