(Ian Hunter)
Here I am, trying to be a man Hoping that you won't think I'm an animal, I'm so scared Cos I get these feelings, strong How can they be so wrong? Touch me and I'll turn the Blackpool Illuminations on The Sackcloth and Ashes all over the bed Alice in Sunderland takes off her coat and she says, "It hit me, it hit me like an Avalanche When I saw you I knew If love's gonna bury me I want it to be here with you". Don't let go, torture me there real slow Hold me until I come to my senses again The Sackcloth and Ashes all over the bed Alice in Sunderland takes off her dress and she says, "It hit me, it hit me like an Avalanche Oh, like a bolt from the blue If love's gonna bury me I want it to be here with you". We don't have to do it if you really don't wanna do it No, we don't have to do it at all We don't have to do it if you really don't wanna do it Well I'm hoping and praying you know what I'm saying that's all Alice in Sunderland lies on my bed And Christopher Robin slips silently out of my head I've been hit, I've been hit by an Avalanche Oh, like a bolt from the blue If love's gonna bury me I want it to be here with you If we're ever gonna set the world on fire For you know it takes two If love's gonna bury me I want it to be here with you I've been hit by an Avalanche
