'Love's Great Adventure' by Ultravox

'Love's Great Adventure' by Ultravox

To be perfectly fair, I never was wholly seduced by tragic love. I ALWAYS loved this song by Ultravox and still do. It is the ultimate kind of positive hymn to realisation of the power of love.

'Standing on my own,
It didn't mean that much to me;
I thought I had it all,
I didn't see the mystery:
I stood the test of time,
I took the step to find
Love's great adventure.

I spoke a million words,
They didn't mean that much to me;
They rang around my head
Like empty tuneless harmonies.
Love's great adventure... oh!

Lying side by side
It didn't mean that much to me;
I started to enjoy
The poetry and symphonies.
I took it in my stride
I hailed the day I tried
Love's great adventure.

A fool who couldn't see,
It didn't mean that much to me;
I couldn't understand
That's how the game is meant to be:
Love's great adventure's mine.

Love's great adventure,
Love's great adventure,
Love's great adventure... oh!

Standing on my own
It didn't mean that much to me;
I thought I had it all
I didn't see the mystery:
I stood the test of time
I took the step to find
Love's great adventure's mine!'
