Passionate Reply Lyrics by Ultravox

Rare 1

1981

Suddenly, you find
Yourself walking for a long time
Your back's to the wall
But now you must go

Painting scenes from magazines
Sucking breath from nicotine
Standing tall against the crowd we sigh
Taking turns on telephones
Living lives in other homes
Listening for the passionate replies

Suddenly, we find
Ourselves talking for a long time
Our voices are low
But now you must know

Giving all you have to give
Taking all you've got to live
Plotting all mistakes along the way
Find it hard to take it all
Reading names on other walls
Writing down the words we tried to sing

(Suddenly, you'll find)
(Yourself walking for a long time)
(Your back's to the wall)
(But now you must go)
(Suddenly, we find)
(Ourselves talking for a long time)
