I was waiting for a knock on the wall
Waited all night, did not hear anything at all
Thinking of my lips on your lips
Working on a partial eclipse
Welcome to the home of the hits
Sorry to insist on this partial eclipse of the sun
A brand new shape to the universe
This is what it looks like with polarities reversed
Expansion becomes contraction, repulsion becomes attraction
Standing with my hands on your hips
You're giving me a partial eclipse
All creation started like this
Sorry to insist on this partial eclipse of the sun
The morning was overcast, or maybe the clouds became a little darker
I walked down to the bottom of the road and my blood ran cold
Going back to living in sheltered accommodation, sporadic central heating
Looking for a clean mug whilst wearing a bobbly cardigan and odd socks
Another near miss
A partial eclipse of the sun
Above the clouds...
