Urges Lyrics by Thomas Dolby

The Golden Age Of Wireless

1981

[Verse 1]
Early evening, he get these urges
Skin tension under leatherette
A back bar somewhere in clubland
Cigarillo and the scene is set
See the bodies, now things are moving
Little twitches people can't explain
Young bodies, listen to them talking
New languages are in their veins

[Pre-Chorus]
Same face in a new situation
The mirror ball holds mesmerised
He look around, he's the new Clark Gable

[Chorus]
Urges, urges, he get these urges
He don't wanna talk about
Heartfelt urges, he get these urges
He's not supposed to talk about
Urges, urges, these restless urges
He don't wanna talk about
Urges, urges, can't stop the urges
Lock them out, don't let them out

[Verse 2]
She's here, the heat is rising
She moves slowly, she's a china doll
By degrees, he'll loosen her composure
She knows he knows, she knows he knows

[Pre-Chorus]
One word to the man in the pulpit
She start twitching and she can't keep still
Seven inches of a Black Star Liner

[Chorus]
Urges, urges, she get these urges
She don't wanna talk about
Heartfelt urges, she get these urges
She's not prepared to talk about
Urges, urges, these restless urges
She don't wanna talk about
Urges, urges, can't stop the urges
Lock them out, lock them out
Locking out, locking out those urges

[Verse 3]
Try to contain the stuff that's in your body
Bit silly when your head's no good
When you're ashamed of things about your body
Keep drinking like you knew you would
In the footlight, the ape in motion
Spins circles all across the floor
Mouth the words, assume the positions
For a second, we can fool them all

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, this time, it's a new sensation
It's never been this way before
I look at you and I feel half human

[Chorus]
Urges, urges, I get these urges
I don't wanna talk about
Heartfelt urges, I get these urges
I'm not supposed to talk about
Urges, urges, these restless urges
I don't wanna talk about
Urges, urges, can't stop the urges
Lock them out, lock them out

[Outro]
Locking out those urges, yeah, yeah
Urges
Locking out those urges, yeah, yeah
Urges
Locking out those urges, yeah, yeah
Urges
Locking out those urges, yeah, yeah
