I Never Wanted To Begin - Ultravox
Shadows cut across as
Stolen promises were broke
We wound our watch to stretch the time
In case that no-one got the joke
I never wanted to begin
Name that sin
Name that sin
Dim and distant kisses chill
Before I catch my death
Etch every name upon the door
And note the ones who never rest
We never knew who'd be within
Name that sin
Name that sin
Shattered captains climbing
Gates to hold new lamps of fame
For mad kings rowing over lakes
Connecting rooms in black sedans
They never wanted to begin
Name that sin
Name that sin
Evidence is stripped and torn
And hidden in the minds
The negatives have all
Been fogged and blurred
Reduced a thousand times
We never wanted to fall in
Name that sin
Name that sin
Name that sin
Name that sin
Name that sin
Name that sin
Name that sin
Name that sin
