Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'll need tonight to sit and think about this

Think what to do

(I believe in my soul)

I'll take some strength to banish hollow sorrow

Hollow sorrow's nothing new

(I believe in my soul)

Just enough strength to last until tomorrow

Until I believe in my soul

Till I believe in my soul

Tonight I lost sight of your purpose

Despite this trickery you told me was right

(I believe in my soul)

I was such a good boy, I let you hold the door

So kind, so nice, where's my prize?

[Instrumental]

(That's all there ever is) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah?

(That's all there ever was) Oh yes, yes, yes

(The same for everyone) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah?

[Instrumental]

(That's all there ever is) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah?

(That's all there ever was) Oh, you must be fucking joking

(The same for everyone) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah?

[Verse 2]

Would you please repeat that? Break this to me gently

Stand over there

(I believe in my soul)

I was an arrogant boy, I let you hold the door

So kind, so nice, where's the—

(I believe in my soul)

I believe it, I believe it

I believe, yes, I believe it

Ah, ah

(I believe in my soul)

And I'm on the train from New Street to Euston

I'm out to Harrow again

I'm trying to get the feeling back that I had in 1972

And, and

(I believe in my soul)

[Instrumental]

(I believe in my soul)

I'm saying, wait a minute there

Wait a minute there, wait a minute there

Hold it, stop, stop! Let me get this clear

(I believe in my soul)

[Instrumental]

(That's all there ever is) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah?

(That's all there ever was) Yes, yes, ha ha ha ha ha

(The same for everyone) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah?

[Instrumental]

I know what this is, it's just the difference between the body and the soul, the spirit

What I'm gonna do now, I'll punish my body

I'm gonna punish the body until I believe in the soul

That's what I'm gonna do

That's exactly what I'm gonna do

Just like this

Just like this

Just like this

[Instrumental]

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

I believe it's there (Well)

[Verse 3]

(That's all there ever is) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah?

(That's all there ever was) Ah yes, yes, yes

(The same for everyone) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah?

(That's all there ever is)

(That's all there ever was)

(The same for everyone) Yes, yes, yes

(That's all there ever is) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah?
