Raspberries Letra

i decided not to keep living with fear

so odd a time after 16 years



the sunshine falls in my new home

like everyone else i'm all alone

with all the back alleys of a life

always the bridesmaid, never the bride



if you walk right up to me

tell me you believe

that you really wanna fit in

'cause sometimes you feel this way

feel so far away



and when i was young, you bedroom was dark

stared out in wonder at the outside park

but the voice in the corner would say to you

you won't escape from those teenage blues



so you walk right up to me

gave those pills to me

(?) after slumber

and sometimes i feel this way

feel so far away



remember apple trees in the garden of our home

remember walking down the street

frozen to the bone

remember shirley maclaine in some come running

comes running back to you



all at once i feel sick inside

swallow twice, here come blue skies

but you won't ever have liberty

until you put this feeling in a dictionary



you walk right up to me

tell me you believe

in the politics of passion

and sometimes i feel this way

i feel so strong all day



you've been living out your life

through half-closed eyes

you've been living out your life

through half-closed eyes

dreaming of utopia

did you ever, can we ever, will we ever

and the rain falls down in north london town

and our love is so strong

but we can go wrong

and it's great to be a (?)

it's so good to kiss you, all your (?)

just like raspberries

just like raspberries
