The Loving Lyrics - Oranges & Lemons - Xtc

All around the world, every boy and every girl 

Need the loving 

The humble and the great, even those we think we hate 

Need the loving 

Soldiers of the queen, all the hard men that we've seen 

Need the loving 

Babies at the breast, those in power and those suppressed 

Need the loving 

Let's face it you just can't hide 

Your first taste'll send you reeling 

Like a firework to which we're tied 

Be prepared to go through your ceiling now 

The loving's coming 

The loving's more than just an AD man's vision 

The loving's strumming 

On your heart strings, so loud that you can't help but listen 

Sailors on the seas, or the clergy on their knees 

Need the loving 

All the rich and poor, even those we fight at war 

Need the loving 

That thing that we need most of 

That stuff we should try before we've died 

Everyone is begging to be loved 

With a free gift, a working heart inside 

The loving's coming 

The loving's advertised in all the papers 

The loving's humming 

Your favorite song but for once it won't annoy the neighbors 

The loving, the loving 

All round the world, every boy and every girl 

Need the loving 

Cold-hearted or warm, every single person born 

Needs the loving 

Way out there in space, think we'll find that alien race 

Needs the loving 

And just to end the list, everything that could exist 

Needs the loving 

The loving's coming 

The loving's coming 

The loving's coming
