True Love Waits
TRUE LOVE WAITS (4:27) Song info
I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
To wash your swollen feet

Just don't leave, don't leave

And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love wins
On lollipops and crisps

Just don't leave, don't leave

I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kiss and smile

Just lonely, lonely..
Just lonely, lonely..

This song was debuted at the Luna Theater show in Brussels in December of 1995. This performance featured Thom on acoustic guitar and Jonny on keyboards. Thom then played a beautiful acoustic version by himself on July 8, 2000 in Israel.

Thom, when asked how he came up with the line lollipops and crisps, "cos it meant a lot to me that out of all the things in the world to choose you chose those two items i read an article about a child who was between 5-8 yrs old who was left on his/her own for a week in a house when his parents left on hoilday and he lived on lollipops on crisps. true."

Thom also commented on the meaning of the line "I'll dress like your niece," saying "the difference between young and old when people start to dress sensible and act their age. this person is offering not to do that to keep the other. alles klarr?"
