it's getting close to midnight and i'm weary
the talking fades, the evening starts to drag
we kiss outside the bar, you tell me i'm handsome
and what a wonderful night you've had
bet you say that to everyone
who ever turned you on
i won't be put upon
but isn't it fun to play along
it's too good to be true
and so i'll call an end
before you come here and you call it on me
it's too good to be true
so i turn around
do the sensible thing let it be
it's too good to be true
cos i know how it ends
and why bother waiting only to see
it's too good to be true
and so i'll call an end
before you come here and you call it on me
i know the rules and every way to play it
i've done the same so many times before
i'm sure you're well aware it takes one to know one
and i don't want to know one any more
so i want no part of this
and i've made my peace with it
oh hell i enjoyed the kiss
i'm not surprised to find that it
you throw together two disparate calibres
and look what happens, you can't say it's my fault
of everyone i've been through
none quite as frightening as you
i wonder if you're scared too
i'll take the bullet one of us has to
and eventually time will destroy it
if there's somebody there to enjoy it
so play on

if someone asks me for my favourite or any 80s disco track I still replay in my head again and again, I'll have to clarify why I'd make an exception for Spectrum. absolute bomb with such honest and raw emotion, it just makes me bawl. <3 neuroticcanary
