Andrew Ridgley lyrics

[Spoken Verse 1]
I never liked George Michael much
Although they say he was the talented one
Andrew Ridgley drew the map
That rescued me, took me to paradise

[Chorus]
I was brought up to the sound of the synthesizer
I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums
I came alive to the smoldering fire in your eyes
I love you now and I will till the day that I die

[Spoken Verse 2]
I had a tooth pulled as a child
I put it underneath my pillow
And when I looked the very next morning
There was a ten pound note
I took it to the nearest record shop
I put it down upon the counter
I gotta tell you what I know to be true
I bought my first record because of you

[Chorus]
I was brought up to the sound of the synthesizer
I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums
I came alive to the smoldering fire in your eyes
I love you now and I will till the day that I die
[Bridge 1]
I love everything
I love to be around money
A daughter of negative equity
A child of Black Wednesday
(Blue Monday, Black Wednesday)
This is Sarah Nixey talking
MIDI-ed and into the groove
I've got to tell you
What I know to be true

[Spoken Verse 3]
I didn't do too well at school
They said I couldn't concentrate
The day you flew off into the sunset
Was the day my education was saved
Then years later on Kensington High Street
I saw you drive a white convertible Golf GTI
Carefully edging out into the traffic
Just like a real live human being

[Chorus]
I was brought up to the sound of the synthesizer
I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums
I came alive to the smoldering fire in your eyes
I love you now and I will till the day that I die
[Bridge 2]
Daddy lost everything
Our beautiful house, his beautiful sports car
His beautiful wife, I held his hand and told him
Everything would be all right
This is Sarah Nixey talking
MIDI-ed up and into the groove
I've got to tell you
What I know to be true

[Chorus]
I was brought up to the sound of the synthesizer
I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums
I came alive to the smoldering fire in your eyes
I love you now and I will till the day that I die
I was brought up to the sound of the synthesizer
I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums
I came alive to the smoldering fire in your eyes
I love you now and I will till the day that I die
