First time that I saw you You were standing in the hall You said you knew everything But I knew you knew f** all There were tremors in your cheekbones There was longing in your eyes But I thought I smelt a nameless fear Buried in your thighs You crucified me Do you see That you crucify me I crouched down in the hallway You huddled on the step There were shadows in the alcove We were way out of our depth There was thunder in the hallway There was lightning at the gate Electric storms flashed through the walls In fixed and fluid states And crucified me Do you see That you crucify me Now and then I call your name And now and then it's clear Baby you can call in vain Even though you're near You were cloaked in your depression Like a widow in her veils How could we begin to think That we could ever fail You crucified me Do you see That you crucify me First time that I saw you You were standing 'gainst the wall You swore I knew everything But you knew I knew f** all. __________________________________________________ *written by Bob Geldof *taken from the album entitled "The Vegetarians of Love"
