lyrics

If youre ready for love
then take off the kid gloves
and start doing pushups on your knuckles

you make me chuckle sometimes
you think you can get away with it
you make me laugh with your hare-brained schemes
and your diamond dream giraffe

yeah yeah
yeah yeah

If youre ready for love
then take off the high heels
and start doing laps of the train station

you think this mental masturbation
will somehow magically solve this situation
don't make me wait for your hare-brained schemes
and your diamond dream creation

yeah yeah
yeah yeah

If youre ready for love
then take out the earphones
and start to realise that youre alone

you make me think of a throne made of thorns
you make me pink like a bone in the morning
don't make me wink till it sinks in baby
don't be thinkin maybe
just say
just say

yeah yeah
yeah yeah

If youre ready for this
then open your fist
close your eyes
and I'll give you a surprise

you think they can hear your plaintive cries?
out where the painted hills meet the desert sky
I told you the truth
and then I told you a lie

yeah yeah
yeah yeah

If youre ready for life
then the world is your wife
and you can forget about the knife

only the moon can burn away the mist
only you know how it feels to exist
have the tenacity to persist
have the capacity to resist
and let me know
if I can assist you
I'll do my best to

yeah yeah
yeah yeah

Dan Ball recommends:

drool together
by Chocolate Dog

This is an album I made in collaboration over the internet with two fine musicians back home in Dublin Ireland. There is a very interesting mix of styles, tones and rhythms. Dan Ball
