I work on the frontline
I work to survive

And I sleep in a fever - so this is my life.
I cry in my sleep - cry boy
Cry boy

It just makes me weep
When I try how I try.
I know what it means to work hard on machines.
It's a labour of love
So please
Don't ask me why.
I'm looking for reasons - day in
Day out.
I'm trying too hard - he's trying too hard.
I'm moving in circles - too hot
Too hot.
Don't get very far - don't get very far.
Should I ask she to dance - dance boy
Dance boy.
If I promise romance
Will you come for the ride.
I know what it means
To work hard on machines.
Do you believe in love one that lasts for all time.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/thompson+twins/you+take+me+up_20355081.html ]
You take me up
Oh ho
You take me up to the higher ground.
You take me up so high
Now I never want to come back down
I'm glad in these hard times - day in
Day out.
There's hope in your eyes - hope in his eyes.
I don't need a religion - too hot
Too hot.
'Cause this love never dies - love never dies.
I believe in today - believe boy
Believe boy.
It's better that way and you work through the night.
I know what it means
To work hard on machines.
It's a labour of love
So please
Don't ask me why.
You take me up
Oh ho
You take me up to the higher ground. . .
I cry in my sleep - cry boy
Cry boy. . . .
You take me up
Oh ho
You take me up to the higher ground. . .
You take me up. oh ho. you take me up to the higher ground. . .
