Lyrics
You take your time but I knew you'd turn up
Eventually
But don't ask how I knew
It's all part of being human
Placing blind faith in the intangible
I took my time but it was time that had to be took
I couldn't see
What it was I was needing before
I was taking it all much too seriously
You know the score
Well
I hate cliches and despise fairytales
Still I believe in love
I make Disney character voodoo dolls
Still I believe in love
I can't stand Hollywood happy ends
Love songs that rhyme but don't make sense
Still I believe in love
Forget first sight
It's the first laugh that really counts
Forget that stuff about fate
It's all chance
One fat, ripe, glorious chance
To touch the divine
Without that God bloke getting in the way
Still I believe in love
Still I believe in love
Been known to violently convulse
At ballads that modulate upwards
Still I believe in love
Oh yes I do
Pin greetings cards to dartboards
Those helpless kittens and cute puppydogs
Got nothing against household pets
Just all that sentimental bollocks
But I believe in love
Oh yes I do
Hate cliches and despise fairytales...
Oh yes I do
Believe in love
Yes I believe in love
