We Shall Not Be Lovers

here's one of my favourite Waterboys "Acoustic Campfire" - Songs.

But I have problems with the lyrics. So if anyone could help me

replacing the dotted lines with words and suppose any corrections

I would be very happy.

** We will not be lovers ** Mike Scott ** The Waterboys 1987

You just stepped into the maintrack

.................

words are your weapon

lies are your defense

I know what you want

and I see what you see

you re looking for somebody

but he isn t me

find yourself another - we will not be lovers

now your eyes are like tortures

and your presence is bliss

I never knew time

its speeding zip like this

................of your flesh

it s tough to resist

planets collide, collide, collide

at the smack of your kiss

but you can kiss your brother, because we will not be lovers,

no!

now you re putting down curtains

sparking all flames

cars and disturbance

crying for sin

rocking on doors (locking all doors ?)

...............doubt

throwing your pain

but you will throw it at your mother, we will not be lovers

now the world s full of trouble

and everybody scared

landlords are frowning

....................

people are scrambling

like dogs for a share

it s cruel and it s hard

but it s nothing compared to what we do to each other

We will not be lovers
