about

If you want the back story to this song, please take a look at Chapter 1 of 'My Unplanned Obsolescence' (thomtopham.wordpress.com/about).

Recorded in 1989 in a demo studio in Chalk Farm, the name of which I forget.

lyrics

You can dance and I can sing of the joy that magic moments bring,
oh so rare and still something to share, our special night.
You can move and I can play the piano for our yesterday,
I never thought that you would stay until the morning light.

But you've got someone over there, and I'll have someone soon.
The two of us just came together playing the same tune.

It was no more than a good time, no more than a good time, it was no more than a good time in the short time that we had.
No more than a good time, no more than a good time, it was no more than a good time, and the good time made it sad.

You must sleep, and I will dream of things not always what they seem,
you were the cat who got the cream, and that makes me feel fine.
You're a star and I'm down to earth, you shone on me for what it's worth, but I won't think that it's the birth of more than a good time.

But you've got someone over there, and I'll have someone soon.
The two of us just came together playing the same tune.

It was no more than a good time, no more than a good time, it was no more than good time in the short time that we had.
No more than a good time, no more than a good time, no more than a good time, no more than a good time...
