Tonight I'm wound tighter than a watchspring Tonight you owe my patience quite a debt Tonight we're not gonna solve anything I might say something that we both regret v And now the pressures on, the heat is rising The time has come to stop apologising 'cos when the skies are clear The threat of rain is always here with you Tonight the geese are flying And everything you say is a call to arms Tonight there's something in the air Don't come too close and you'll come to no harm v And now the pressure's on the heat is rising The time has come to stop apologising With all thats gone before My motive's never felt so pure And now my heart's beset With 28 carot gold regrets And when the skies go clear The threat of rain is always here with you
