AND IT SHOOK ME
(Graham Parker)

Graham Parker


And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah

I remember the way you looked when we first met
There are some things in this world you can’t forget
You were standing underneath the light I lost my heart, it felt all right
And it shook me, and I’m still shaking now.

I remember rainy nights I thought I’d drown
Was it london new york paris or amsterdam
I forget the details no I must admit but you were there through all of it
And it shook me, and I’m still shaking now.

Repeat chorus

Will you hold on and hope our grip don’t fail
Sometimes lovers hammer in their own coffin nails
I just read how universes start, continually they blow apart
And it shook me and I’m still shaking now.

Some believe in a heaven up above
With a God that forgives all with his great love
Well I forgive you if you forgive me, hey! who needs the third party anyway
And it shook me and I’m still shaking now.

Chorus (repeat and fade)
