Ian Dury And The Blockheads - You're The Why lyrics

I shuffled through the modes of bad behaviour And hankered for the desolated dawn I couldn't cope with yet another saviour To steer me from the way that I was born Then like a ton of bricks the dawn descended Recalcitrance was hurtled to the floor The citadel lay breached and undefended You brought a love I'd never known before I'll want you till the seasons lose their mystery I'll need you till the birds forget to fly I'll love you more than anyone in history Wherever there's a wherefore you're the why I shuffled through the modes of bad behaviour And hankered for the desolated dawn I couldn't cope with yet another saviour To steer me from the way that I was born Then like a ton of bricks the dawn descended Recalcitrance was hurtled to the floor The citadel lay breached and undefended You brought a love I'd never known before I'll want you till the seasons lose their mystery I'll need you till the birds forget to fly I'll love you more than anyone in history Wherever there's a wherefore you're the why
