Scritti Politti – Robin Hood lyrics

I've been longing too long a time
I dream of ending these dreams of mine
Of hope for love forevermore
And just to adore and be adored

The need for someone new now
I'm overawed

I've been wishing my life away
For Robin Hood to be king
One day we'll share the treasures of the world
Oh yeah, when I will get the girl

A flag of blood and lipstick
Will be unfurled

All prophecy will fail
And by that light we'll sail

I have closed my eyes and seen
Well, I've seen the end of the men of means
And so I want that thrill and then
You know I want that thrill again

To a life of hopes and hi there's
I am condemned

I love in hope
I'll never go back, never ever, ever go back
I'll never go back, never ever, ever go back

I love in hope
I'll never go back, never ever, ever go back
(Been longing too long a time)
I'll never go back, never ever, ever go back
(Been longing too long a time)

I love in hope
I'll never go back, never ever, ever go back
(Been longing too long a time)
I'll never go back, never ever, ever go back
(Been longing too long a time)

I love in hope
I'll never go back, never ever, ever go back
(Been longing too long a time)
I'll never go back, never ever, ever go back
(Been longing too long a time)
