Steve Harley - Understand lyrics

Shall I begin from here to tell everything ? Relinquish honour in order to make it ring ? You'd have to give me your promise You won't expect too much from this You'll just be happy with the gold that I bring We've been playing cat and mouse now for far too long I can't let it simmer and just go gruelling on I have to make my move I've still got so much to prove You can't imagine the life that I've had Chorus: if I could put the words together If I could put the words together If only I could put the words together You'd understand You've been a magnet stuck in my memory I'd hide if I could but I'm red in a yellow sea Consider me lost in aspic (I'd give in but that's not my schtick) You'll haunt me for ever, I know you will
