lyrics

There’s a party on tonight - strangers old and new,
You think it’s alright cos you do….you do.
Take a look around - there’s someone after you?
The devil is buying the round - for you.

And you’ll never be together,
never be together - never never never!
Cos you don’t wanna chance - a fanatical glance,
And you’ll never be together,
never be together - never never never!
Cos you don't wanna chance - with a Radical Romance!

Take a little time - there’s no slowing you,
Don't put up a fight tonight - will you?
The drugs won his desire - the destiny for you,
In surrogate love with the man you never knew.

And you’ll never be together,
never be together - never never never!
Cos you don’t wanna chance - a fanatical glance,
And you’ll never be together,
never be together - never never never!
Cos you don't wanna chance - with a Radical Romance!

Open up your eyes, you’re in a stranger’s room,
No memory of the afternoon...confused?
Now you're feeling doubt, when it dawns on you,
The radical drug had taken the soul from you.

And you’ll never be together,
never be together - never never never!
Cos you don’t wanna chance - a fanatical glance,
And you’ll never be together,
never be together - never never never!
Cos you dont wanna chance - with a Radical Romance!
