  • Small man, big world
    Lost beyond the pale
    I know you inside out
    I can tell the tale

    Across the sky the change of time
    Last night I lost all day
    I'm here and there or anywhere
    Away from Manderley

    And if I were the king of Rome
    I couldn't be more tragic
    My fate to roam so far from home
    In search of mindless magic

    Oh baby come back
    Oh baby come back to me

    The desert moon, a new lagoon
    We glide upon the surface
    Night falls fast, no shadows cast
    Arriving without purpose

    Oh baby call me
    Oh baby call me today

    And if I were the king of Rome
    I couldn't be more lonely
    With so much scope to dream and hope
    Someday you'll deign to phone me

    Oh baby call me
    Oh baby call me today

    I long for your inscrutable pale face
    I hunger for your beautiful embrace Writer/s: CHRIS LOWE, NEIL TENNANT
