Bob Geldof Love Like A Rocket Lyrics

Terry still meets Julie every Friday night Down at Waterloo underground
Nothing much has changed Exept now they're not sure what went wrong
Terry holds her tight and says Some things I cant't explain
But in twenty years baby Some things have got to change
Paradise is gone If it was ever on
But there's one thing Julie That'll always be the same
My love like a rocket Like a rocket on fire
I'm gonna love you till the day I die But Julie's not convinced that that's enough anymore
Cos the Waterloo sunset won't work for her anymore

Julie cries a lot but she tries to hide the tears From the kids coming in from school
She's looking at a picture take Margate'66 Of Terry on the pier looking cool
She tries to remember the boy in the snap But the baby's woken up from her afternoon nap
She runs a wrinkled hand through her tired hair Then sighs and mutters something sounding close to despair
But love like a rocked Goes straight up to the sky
Love like a rocket Like a rocket and fire
He's gonna love her till the day he dies But in the middle of another little household chore
She knows the Waterloo sunset won't work for her anymore

Standing on the bridge Terry stops and checks his wrist As the water rushed by below
It's almost half past six but the people moving by Make it seem like twenty years ago
Julie gets there late but she always makes him wait Until the sky turns from red to gold
She says "Terry I dont't think we should vome here no more"
And like he's waited for this moment He just stares and say "I konw"
And love like a rocket Like a rocket on fire
Goes straight up to the sky Love like a rocket
Like a rocket on fire He'll love her till the day he dies

And then he squeezes Julies's hand as the water stars to glow
A tear falls in the river then disappears with the flow
And is gone.
