I lit a match in Vienna tonight
It caused a fire in New York
Where is my self-control?
You gotta learn to be thankful
For the things that you have
Now bathe my idle soul in
Desire

Taken by force
Twisted fate
Well, what weighs more
Down on your plate
A ton of love
A ton of hate
We’re waiting for
A chance of
Desire

I don't trust the government
I don’t trust myself
What is a boy gonna do?
Build a church in the city
A place to crawl with our own
We'll give our God away

Taken by force
Twisted fate
Well, what weighs more
Down on your plate
A ton of love
A ton of hate
We’re waiting for
A chance of
Desire

Taken by force
Twisted fate
Well, what weighs more
Down on your plate
A ton of love
A ton of hate
We’re waiting for
A chance of, a chance of, a chance of

    Oh dear.

    Well, look at these lyrics wowsers, get yer teeth into that!

    We're waiting for a chance of desire. Love or hate, it masquarades as summat rather deep-seated in the human psyche.

    If anyone can work out what 'taken by force' means that'd be good.

    Other than that, I think it is generally a pop at how heated we get on this little island about issues and events, all this crap is nothing and we just want a chance of a chance of a chance of..... Whatever we desire.
