The Paris Match

Here's to beautiful music and memories of old friends. The Paris Match by The Style Council (from the album Cafe Bleu with guest vocals by Tracey Thorn). Try and get "the match that started my fire" out of your mind. It's hauntingly impossible.

Empty hours

Spent combing the street

In daytime showers

They've become my beat;

As I walk from cafe to bar

I wish I knew where you are;

Because you've clouded my mind

And now I'm all out of time

Empty skies say try to forget

Better advice is to have no regrets;

As I tread the boulevard floor

Will I see once more;

Because you've clouded my mind

'Till then I'm biding my time

I'm only sad in a natural way

And I enjoy sometimes feeling this way

The gift you gave is desire

The match that started my fire

Empty nights with nothing to do

I sit and think, every thought is for you;

I get so restless and bored

So I go out once more;

I hate to feel so confined

I feel like I'm wasting my time
