Lyrics Lloyd Cole – So You’d Like To Save The World

So you’d like to save the world
I suggest you take one person at a time
And start with me

Not an ordinary girl

Have you been reading my mind?
(What did you find?)
Nothing more or less terrestrial
Could I keep you in mine?

Did you really cry
When you saw the hole in the sky?
Did you really hold your head and hide your eyes?
Well, that’s all right
You might call it ultraviolet radiation
It’s only sunlight

So you’d like to save my world
If you could free my inner child
Then I could free your inhibitions, baby
Or would you like to mother me
I love the way you wear
That Motorola generation chic, mama

Have you been reading my mind?
(What did you find?)
Nothing more or less terrestrial
Could I keep you in mine?

Did you really cry
When you saw the hole in the sky?
Did you really hold your head and hide your eyes?
Well, that’s all right

So you’d like to save the world
I’d really like to help you
I’d really like to be you for a while
Is that all right?
And I could call it ultraviolet radiation
It’s only sunlight…
