Eric Stewart - The Ritual lyrics

I: Progress De La Rake Start getting ready It's your night on the town And you'll be looking like a million dollars Wanting to impress the ladies Casual, scruffy, or straight man bu*ton up, bu*ton down, which way bu*ton up your inhibitions Wanting to impress the ladies (Overk**) You're gonna have yourself a night that you'll remember (remember) That you'll remember with a smile when Monday morning Comes to wake you with a moan (alone) Down in the jam you'll be rollin' Faster than you should be going Looking for an early warning Wanting to survey the competition Peaco*ks strutting their stuff, it's, all a game it's Just to bluff you, everybody talking louder, Trying to psyche the competition (Overk**) You want to find yourself a woman you'll remember (remember) That you'll remember with a sign when Monday morning Comes to wake you with a moan Stop your dreaming Your ship could be sinking You'd better start moving You can't sit there thinking The ritual, the ritual, the ritual... Hello baby, (can I buy you a drink) Haven't I seen you before (on the cover of a magazine) Looking so good, (the way you look tonight) I love to watch you move (oh you've got it just right) Oh do you wanna dance I must be dreaming, she moves like an angel A hidden treasure waiting to be found Don't go away, we've only met and there's so much I want to know, and want to say... Can I take you home, I wanna take you home II: Euphoria Your face is soft and sleepy It's a funny kind of smile Drowsy with your dreaming Do you want to stay awhile Pull the covers close and feel the warmth Surrounding you (surrounding you) Your eyes are full of secrets They mesmerise me so Won't you tell me what you're thinking Oh I really want to know Whisper to me softly in the darkness Surrounding you (surrounding you) You're so inviting Close to me Like a soft warm eiderdown Close your eyes again Let the morning drift away Be with me in my dreams Won't you say you want to stay Pull the covers close and feel the warmth Surrounding you (surrounding you) The time is moving slowly But the day has slipped away Oh I wish it could be longer There's so much I want to say Whisper to you softly in the darkness Surrounding you (surrounding you) You're so inviting Close to me Like a soft warm eiderdown I can't believe that I'm in love again I won't believe that I'm in love again Can't believe that I'm in love again I won't believe that I'm in love again I can't believe that I'm in love again I won't believe that I'm in love again I can't believe that I'm....... III: A Dog With Four Trees It's the ritual, the ritual, the ritual You start again Hello baby (can I buy you a dream) Didn't I see you before (on the cover of a magazine) Looking so good (the way you look tonight) I love to watch you move (oh you get it just right) Wandering in a state of confusion Looking for a new illusion Can't you see you're on a loser (trying to eliminate the rumours) Joking like a poor comedian Smiling like a politician Drowning in a sea of silence (desperate to impress the people) (Overk**) You're gonna find yourself alone And you'll remember (remember) And you'll remember there's a face A funny face A smile that haunts you through the night Through the night You're in love You're in love etc...
