Burning Desire

Edwyn Collins

Whether or not
We got what it takes
Much flotsam and jetsom
We leave in our wake

You'll appreciate that
There's no turning back
I'll go it alone
If need be

And how can I quench
This burning desire
For that bittersweet taste
I've yet to acquire?

If all the world's a stage
Why wait in the wings?
Why be content
With those commonplace things
Which litter the lives
Of the frail and the fey?
It's time we were on our way

And how can I quench
This burning desire
For that bittersweet taste
I've yet to acquire?

I made a vow
That I'd leave you somehow
Somewhere, someplace, sometime
You had a hunch
When it came to the crunch
That I'd change my mind
You changed my mind

How can I quench
This burning desire
For that bittersweet taste
I've yet to acquire?

You changed my mind
(You know you changed it)
