You Take Me Up Lyrics
I work on the front line
I work to survive
I sleep in a fever
So this is my life
I cry in my sleep (cry boy, cry boy)
It just makes me weep when I try, how I try
I know what it means to work hard on machines
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why
Working for a reason (day in, day out)
Trying too hard (he's trying too hard)
Moving in circles (too hard, too hard)
Don't get very far (don't get very far)
Should I ask you to dance (dance boy, dance boy)
If I promise romance, would you come for a ride
I know what it means to work hard on machines
Do you believe in love, one that lasts for all time
CHORUS
You take me up
You take me up to the higher ground
You take me up so high
Now I never wanna come back down
I'm glad in these hard times (day in, day out)
There's hope in your eyes (hope in his eyes)
I don't need a religion (too hard, too hard)
If this love never dies (love never dies)
I believe in today (believe boy, believe boy)
'Cause it's better this way when you work through the night
I know what it means to work hard on machines,
It's a labour of love, so please don't ask me why
Chorus
I cry in my sleep (cry boy, cry boy)
It just makes me weep when I try, how I try
I know what it means to work hard on machines
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why
Chorus x 2
I work to survive
I sleep in a fever
So this is my life
It just makes me weep when I try, how I try
I know what it means to work hard on machines
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why
Trying too hard (he's trying too hard)
Moving in circles (too hard, too hard)
Don't get very far (don't get very far)
If I promise romance, would you come for a ride
I know what it means to work hard on machines
Do you believe in love, one that lasts for all time
You take me up
You take me up to the higher ground
You take me up so high
Now I never wanna come back down
There's hope in your eyes (hope in his eyes)
I don't need a religion (too hard, too hard)
If this love never dies (love never dies)
'Cause it's better this way when you work through the night
I know what it means to work hard on machines,
It's a labour of love, so please don't ask me why
It just makes me weep when I try, how I try
I know what it means to work hard on machines
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why

I can't believe that no one has commented on this song.
It's meaning is clarified in the line:
"I know what it means to work HARDON machines."
It's about masturbation.
