"Absolute Beginners" lyrics

"Absolute Beginners"
(originally by David Bowie)

I've nothing much to offer
There's nothing much to take
I'm an absolute beginner
But I'm absolutely sane

As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners

With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Sail over oceans
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can't shake
Oh, we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake

As long as you're still smiling
There's nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners

And if my love is your love
We're certain to succeed

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Sail over heartaches
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
If my love is your love
We're certain to succeed

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Sail over heartaches
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true
