TERENCE TRENT D’ARBY – Wishing Well / Dance Little Sister (live in London, 1995)

From the album: Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby (1987)

WISHING WELL

Kissing like a bandit stealing time Underneath the sycamore tree Cupid by the hour sends valentines To my sweet lover and me

Slowly but surely Your appetite is more than I knew Sweetly, softly I’m falling in love with you

Wish me love a wishing well, to kiss and tell A wishing well of butterfly tears Wish me love a wishing well, to kiss and tell A wishing well of crocodile cheers, sing

Hugging like a monkey see, monkey do Right beside a riverboat gambler Erotic images float through my head Say I wanna be (I wanna be your midnight rambler) your midnight rambler

Quickly but quickly The blood races through my veins Quickly, loudly I wanna hear those sugar bells ring

Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell A wishing well of butterfly tears Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell A wishing well of crocodile cheers, get up

On the beat now C’mon

Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell A wishing well of butterfly tears, come on Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell A wishing well of crocodile cheers

I feel like going on I feel like going on (Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell) Come on, come on Erotic images float through my head Your midnight rambler, baby

Dig it For you anywhere I don’t know I don’t care But all I know is I gotta Gotta be your midnight rambler, baby

DANCE LITTLE SISTER

Get up outta your rockin’ chair, grandma! Or rather would you care to dance grandmother?

Hey you! Give up to the ghost That’s haunting you now, hoo! Shout it out Don’t let it stay inside and eat you alive

Make up your mind Don’t you want to stay This side of the line? I can assure you When you’re my age You’ll learn from all you’ve left behind

Dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on ’til tomorrow I don’t wanna hear you’re late

Dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on ’til tomorrow Don’t give up your stay

Say, say, say now share the weight And lay your cross down, ha A-a-and let the long reaching arm Of hope bring you around See well I say it ain’t easy but giving up Is the easy thing to do, hoo Time is on your side Would you just watch the clock And let it tick for you? Ha, woo

Dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on ’til tomorrow I don’t wanna hear you’re late

Dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on ’til tomorrow Don’t give up your stay (don’t give up, don’t go)

You got to Dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on ’til tomorrow I don’t wanna hear you’re late

You’ve got to Dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on ’til tomorrow Don’t give up your stay (woo!)

Dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on ’til tomorrow I don’t wanna hear you’re late

Dance little sister (little sister) Don’t give up today (don’t give up) Hang on ’til tomorrow (don’t give up) Don’t give up your stay

Dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on ’til tomorrow I don’t wanna hear you’re late

Dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on ’til tomorrow Don’t give up your stay

Dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on ’til tomorrow I don’t wanna hear you’re late

Dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on ’til tomorrow
