Dexys Midnight Runners Song Lyrics

Artist: Dexys Midnight Runners
Album: Don't Stand Me Down (1985)

Don't stand me down, or around,
For I'll never stop saying your name.

I was the one who came rushing to see you believed in your strategy
Followed your course
Around this time, yes, I came near to remorse,
I never quite did, of course
But then, things were no worse.

And you were the one I was waiting to see, believed implicitly
But I never took tea
I was always in doubt
About working it out,
Hence my reasons to shout.

Were in permanent doubt.

It's all changed now.

Now, though it seems I am losing,
It's not true.
And though it seems there's confusion,
It's also not true.

As if I could not see
Believed implicitly
In the tales of the british democracy
How I swooned to the stories of royal victories
But the books of history were fairy tale stories
But, never one to doubt
And not first think about,
I restrained all my doubt,
Now I'm working it out.
Your good sister, it seems,
Is nowhere to be seen,
They don't talk of kathleen,
Things are not how they seem.

There's no beauty any more.

Now, though it seems I am losing,
It's not true
And though it seems there's confusion, it's also not true
You say wait
But some things don't wait any more
Well, I've been to the promised land
I've been there
I've also been down to the bottom
And looked up from despair.

Now, though it seems I am losing,
It's not true
Now, though it seems there's confusion it's also not true
Some things won't wait any more.

Don't stand me down, or around,
For I'll never stop saying your name.

Here is a protest.
