Blind Date Songtext
von The Boomtown Rats

On blind dates
You meet in corners,
You take a jump into the unknown
They′re classified, they're top secret,
An antidote to being on your own.

You′re standing waiting,
You're hesitating,
You're thinking maybe... well
I don′t know
Your nerve is breaking,
You′ve started praying
But still you're staying...
And you don′t know for what


But I still say
Been alone's so wrong
Been alone′s so wrong
I've been alone too long.

A blind date′s
A blinkered meeting
A rendezvous with some person unknown,
A secret tryst, a shady dealing,
A gamblers chance when love's dice are thrown.

But you've checked the classifieds in all the papers,
And you filled in all your forms and tried computadata
See ya later
What a waste of a
Blind date...
