The Ghost Of Sex & You Lyrics - Mike & The Mechanics

It was an unbelievable night 

She was an unremarkable girl 

You may not call it poetry 

But it changed my world 

It was an unforgettable dawn 

She was an indisputable fact 

Even if I could have 

I might not have it back 

It's an unexceptional day 

She's an unavoidable truth 

Uncompromised elation 

Suspended since my youth 

It's an unforgivable lie 

I have nothing in my defence 

There can be no forgiveness 

To caution this descent

It wasn't in a dream 

A film or on tv 

This was really happening 

Happening to me 

Though I may protest 

Suggest I never knew 

The ghost comes back to haunt me 

The ghost of sex and you 

I held her hand outside the hotel 

Kissed her mouth in the back of the car 

Whether fact or fantasy 

I knew we'd gone too far 

I feel her breath on the back of my neck 

She's lying naked here on the floor 

Wrap the sheet around her 

Disappear beyond the door 

Photos 

It wasn't in a dream 

A film or on tv 

This was really happening 

Happening to me 

Though I may protest 

Suggest I never knew 

The ghost comes back to haunt me 

The ghost of sex and you 

It was an unbelievable night 

She was an unremarkable girl 

You may not call it poetry 

But it changed my world 

The ghost of sex and you 

It was an unforgettable dawn 

She was an indisputable fact 

Even if I could have 

I might not have it back 

Sex and you 

It's an unexceptional day 

She's an unavoidable truth 

Uncompromised elation 

Suspended since my youth 

Sex and you 

It's an unforgivable lie 

I have nothing in my defence 

There can be no forgiveness 

To caution this descent 

The ghost of sex and you
