Only If For A Night - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

And I had a dream

About my old school

And she was there all pink and gold and glittering

I threw my arms around her legs

Came to weeping (came to weeping)

[Pre-Chorus]

Then I heard your voice

As clear as day

And you told me I should concentrate

It was all so strange

And so surreal

That a ghost should be so practical

Only if for a night

[Chorus]

And the only solution was to stand and fight

And my body was bruised and I was set alight

But you came over me like some holy rite

And although I was burning, you're the only light

Only if for a night

[Verse 2]

And the grass was so green against my new clothes

And I did cartwheels in your honor

Dancing on tiptoes

My own secret ceremonials

Before the service began

In the graveyard doing handstands

[Pre-Chorus]

Then I heard your voice

As clear as day

And you told me I should concentrate

It was all so strange

And so surreal

That a ghost should be so practical

Only if for a night

[Chorus]

And the only solution was to stand and fight

And my body was bruised and I was set alight

But you came over me like some holy rite

And although I was burning, you're the only light

Only if for a night

[Bridge]

My doe, my dear, my darling

Tell me what all the sighing's about

[Pre-Chorus]

Then I heard your voice

As clear as day

And you told me I should concentrate

It was all so strange

And so surreal

That a ghost should be so practical

Only if for a night

[Outro]

Only if for a night (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
