Stephen Duffy And The Lilac Time - Memory & Desire lyrics

I give up, I give up It will never be enough Have you met memory and desire? I never felt like I belonged I made another life in song This is my memory and desire I married young at 48 I was trying to escape Dad and Mum, memory and desire Mum and Dad, memory and desire This is the story of my life There's no plot but now a wife Meet the wife, memory and desire Wedding bells, memory and desire It sounded just like rock and roll As they put me in the hole Rock and roll, memory and desire Dust to dust, memory and desire Memory and desire Memory and desire Memory and desire He came from Hailey, Idaho With a face for radio Ezra Pound, memory and desire Rest in peace: memory and desire
