Push and shove

Album: RT: The Life and Music of Richard Thompson: Finding Better Words - The Essential Richard Thompson Durasi: 3:11

Well people get love all wrong

But we know how to get along

Well we know love is a-running wild

So put on your rags and war paint little child

We know love is a dangerous friend

Screaming tyres on a hair-pin bend

Never knowing when the pushes spark will end

Oh you gotta push and shove, push and shove

Push and shove if you want to be loved

Push and shove, you gotta push and shove

Push and shove if you want to be loved

Well any fool can find romance

In a Meryl Streep weepie or a drunken dance

Or you find your thrills in Mills and Boon

Or cry for some greasy lounge tune

Well that's tired love for tired old fools

Wet dreams for girls in school

You and me, we know how to bend the rules

Oh you gotta push and shove, push and shove

Push and shove if you want to be loved

Push and shove, you gotta push and shove

Push and shove if you want to be loved

Well who says a man must breathe

And who says a heart must grieve

And who says that life's for the living

And who says the gift's in the giving

Well who's got time for the human touch

Little things that mean so much

When the chips are down the ride is rough enough

Oh you gotta push and shove, push and shove

You gotta push and shove if you want to be loved

You gotta push and shove, push and shove

You gotta push and shove if you want to be loved

(If you want to be loved)

You gotta push and shove, you gotta push and shove

You gotta push and shove if you want to be loved
