Creating Scandel for the sake of love
The more the drama festers the harder I fall into you.
Into your arms
Into your kisses
Into a passion that has been buried by disappointing connections

With you I just want to be
Become lost in eachother for a while
             Not let the distraction of harsh words and past mistakes                  
   overcome what has evolved between us

It is real but undefined
It exists in the belief of what could be
We both carry broken hearts and insecurities
Are we strong enough to trust?
Questions seem endless and certainly unanswered
But through the very thick haze of doubt we see each other clearly and smile
There seem to be an unspoken understanding that we may just have
fooled them all

From buying my first guitar
To watching strippers in the corner bar
So much can happen
In a street not that well known
A name change now The Broadway
Even this cannot change its sodden ways
Rileys now a place to lose weight
Some games I had when I'd lost my stake
The dive bars now a place to skin up
A Caribean twist with a Guinness to sup
Installing the refit to the Clipso hairdressers
To having a row with the fella who worked there
As to most it will always be the Harlequin cut through
But to us kids in the 90s it was a place of scandel and curfew
