SCRITTI POLITTI Perfect Way (1985)


I took a backseat, a backhander, I took her back to her room
I better get back to the basics for you
You gotta conscience, compassion, you got away with the word
You gotta heartful of complacency too

I don't have a purpose, omission, I'm empty by definition,
I got a lack girl that you'd love to be
You wanna diva, a deduction, you wanna do what they do
You wanna do damage that you can undo

Apart from everyone away from your love
A part of me belongs apart of all of the hurt above

I got a perfect way to make a new proposition
I got a perfect way to make a justification
I got a prfect way to make a certain a maybe
I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy

I took a day job, amendment, I took a liking to you,
I took a page out of my rule book for you
You wanna message, a confession, you wanna martyr me too
You wanna margin of error for two

Maybe tomorrow, the next letter, or when the weather gets better
I've got to wait here for your moon to turn blue
I made an offer, an exception, I made a sense out of you
You took a good look at your book but I knew

In times of tenderness in terms baby so true
Until such times as I can understand all the things that you do

I got a perfect way to make a new proposition
I got a perfect way to make a justification
I got a prfect way to make a certain a maybe
I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy

Want to forgive you for all the things that you do
Wanna forget how to remember with you
Maybe tomorow the next letter or when the weather gets better
I've got to wait here for your moon to turn blue

Apart from everyone away from your love
A part of me belongs apart of all of the hurt above

I got a perfect way to make a new proposition
I got a perfect way to make a justification
I got a prfect way to make a certain a maybe
I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy
