Ultravox - I Never Wanted to Begin (extended version) lyrics

Shadows cut across as stolen promises were broke We wound our watch to stretch the time In case that no-one got the joke I never wanted to begin Name that sin Name that sin Dim and distant kisses chill before I catch my d**h Etch every name upon the door And note the ones who never rest We never knew who'd be within Name that sin Name that sin Shattered captains climbing gates to hold new lamps of fame For mad kings rowing over lakes Connecting rooms in black sedans They never wanted to begin Name that sin Name that sin Evidence is stripped and torn and hidden in the minds The negatives have all been fogged and blurred Reduced a thousand times We never wanted to fall in Name that sin Name that sin
