The Lover Speaks - Still Faking This Art of Love

Stampeding feelings is an art today,
Cry nervous flirtings of a modern sonneteer,
Valentino eyes - such a drama!
That haunting smile,
Could it try to be more charming?

(It's an icy fire flame....)
More charming
(...makes a beau a stylish blade)

Still faking this art of love
Still faking....
This art of love

Trojan Valentine cards
The sun at dawn
Breathless gaspings
of an ageing troubadour
Inside those arms, such safety!
This splendid scene
Could I sketch a piece more charming

(It's an icy fire flame....)
More charming
(...makes a beau a stylish blade)

Still faking this art of love
Still faking.....
This art of love

More passion
Many a pillow book weekend
More passion, more.....passion

(It's a voice) "Oh I've never felt like...."
(It's a voice) "Oh I'll never do..."
(It's a voice) "Oh"

Still faking this art of love
Still faking.....
This art of love

Wow- I did not know how much meaning this album held for me! It's been over 20years, and hearing it again is flooding my mind with a torrent of impressions.

i agree, saw them live in 1986 at the brighton centre, supported the eurythmics, they were superb.

Evokes amazing powerful memories for me. Just loved his voice - such depth to it. Great Post.
