You Take Me Up Lyrics By Thompson Twins

i work on the front line
i work to survive
i sleep in a fever
so this is my life

i cry in my sleep cry boy cry boy
just makes me weep when i try how i try
know what it means to work hard on machines
it’s a labour of love so please don’t ask me why

working for reason day in day out
trying too hard he’s trying too hard
moving in circles too hot too hot
don’t get very far don’t get very far

should i ask you to dance dance boy dance boy
if i promised romance would you come for the ride
i know what it means to work hard on machines
will you believe in love one that lasts for all time

you take me up oh
you take me up to the higher ground
you take me up
so high
now i never want to come back down

i’m gliding these hard time day in day out
there’s hope in your eyes hope in his eyes
i don’t need a religion too hot too hot
cos’ this love never dies love never dies

i believe in today believe boy believe boy
it’s better that way and you work through the night
i know what it means to work hard on machines
it’s a labour of love so please don’t ask me why

you take me up oh
you take me up to the higher ground
you take me up
so high
now i never want to come back down

i cry in my sleep cry boy cry boy
just makes me weep when i try how i try
i know what it means to work hard on machines
it’s a labour of love so please don’t ask me why

you take me up oh
you take me up to the higher ground
you take me up
so high
now i never want to come back down

you take me up oh
you take me up to the higher ground
you take me up
so high
now i never want to come back down
