Ian Dury - Love Is All Lyrics

When ecstasy ennobled our first kiss
I fell into an agony of bliss
I've never heard a person talk like this
I hope you don't think you can take the piss

The exhilarating rapture of your touch
Ensnares my heart within its vice-like clutch
Though that may be a compliment as such
I'm not sure that I like it very much

Come to my arms
So put your hands
Oh, cherished love
Where they belong
As spirits soar
Although it's cruel
To worlds above
You must be strong
And while we play
Stop talking horse shit
Our hearts be true
In my ear
This perfect dream
You're not my cup
Of me and you
Of tea I fear
'Cos love is all
Oh no it ain't
Love is all

The sweet unbridled urges you evoke
My fevered brow is bursting till I choke
Although you seem to think you're quite a bloke
I wouldn't want you even for a joke

Come to my arms
So put your hands
Oh, cherished love
Where they belong
As spirits soar
Although it's cruel
To worlds above
You must be strong
And while we pledge
Stop talking bollocks
Our hearts be true
In my ear
This perfect dream
You're not my cup
Of me and you
Of tea I fear
'Cos love is all
Oh no it ain't
Love is all
Love is all
Oh no it ain't
Love is all

I've just this minute got out of the boob
I wonder, could you show me to the tube?
The understanding is it's just because
The Underground is where it always was

Come to my arms
Seeing it's you
My new found love
I might as well
As spirits soar
You're all I've got
To worlds above
So what the hell
And while we pledge
If you want me
Our hearts be true
To hold you dear
This perfect dream
Stop talking bullshit
Of me and you
In my ear
Love is all
Love is all
Love is all
Love is all
Love is all
Love is all
Love is all
Love is all
