Never Take Your Place - Big Country

Last night I dreamed I saw you there

I dreamed your eyes are blue

And someone’s hand upon your hair

I dreamed I saw that too

And not a word that I could say

A thing that I could do

Would ever make you look my way

Or let me look on you

Whip your dogs away from here

There’s no more oil and there’s no more beer

Whip your dogs away from here

You’ve no more left to fear

Push away boys, push away boys, it’s time we left this place

All the gold of Africa could never take your place

Some fool is hung around your neck

And who around your waist

Or was it all before we met

And in some other place

Or was it just a ghost of me

Lost in another time

Or someone I forgot to be

Who changed his dream for mine

Whip your dogs away from here

There’s no more oil and there’s no more beer

Whip your dogs away from here

You’ve no more left to fear

Push away boys, push away boys, it’s time we left this place

All the gold of Africa could never take your place

Last night I dreamed I saw you there

I dreamed your eyes are blue

And someone’s hand upon your hair

I dreamed I saw that too

Whip your dogs away from here

There’s no more oil and there’s no more beer

Whip your dogs away from here

You’ve no more left to fear

Push away boys, push away boys, it’s time we left this place

All the gold of Africa could never take your place

Push away boys, push away boys, it’s time we left this place

All the gold of Africa could never take your place

All the gold of Africa could never take your place
