Favours for Favours Lyrics by The Futureheads

News and Tributes

0

Many times we'd help each other out
Favours for favours is nothing new
You're asking me to use my fingertips
But what I'm sculpting and moulding isn't you
These may seem like stupid words
And a tune that you've heard
Everybody's looking for their saving grace
In their race to find a place
I was watching through the window
You were going through the dances
I've been writing all of it down
I'll be taking all my chances
This always seems to happen
But there's something that you do
I just can't help myself
And I wish that I could move more in time with you
I've watched you step and I've watched you turn
I've watched you move like a knife in the water
Watched you move across the floor
Over to me
For all to see
Now you're asking what it is I want
Half a chance to dance with you
With a little time to work it out
I know the results could astonish you
I was watching through the window
You were going through the dances
I've been writing all of it down
I'll be taking all my chances
This always seems to happen
But there's something that you do
I just can't help myself
And I wish that I could move more in time with you
I've watched you step and I've watched you turn
I've watched you move like a knife in the water
Watched you move across the floor
Over to me
For all to see
But there's something that you do
I just can't help myself
And I wish that I could move more in time with you
I've watched you step and I've watched you turn
I've watched you move like a knife in the water
Watched you move across the floor
Over to me
For all to see
