Let's Make This Precious - Live At The BBC/ 1981 - Dexys Midnight Runners

Pure, this must be, it has to be

Pure, let's make this pure

(Do you mean it?)

Yes I do

(Then let's sing it)

Certainly, but first bare your hearts

And cleanse your souls

(And then?)

Let's try and, let's try and, let's try and

Let's make this precious, like this

Let's make this precious

We're striving, we're striving

We're striving, striving over here

(Ever nearer)

I think so

(Visions clearer)

Of course, of course

But still we must forsake all to win

(All temptation)

Everything

(For salvation)

Now you're talking

Then let this apply to all we do

(And then?)

Our striving will guide us

And somehow I think that we'll win

Let's make this precious

First let's hear somebody sing me a record

That cries pure and true

No not those guitars, they're too noisy and crude

The kind that convinces, refuses to leave

There's no need to turn it up

If it's pure I'll feel it from here

Let me do it from here

Thank you but no thanks

This goes out from here

Let's make this precious

(I think we probably will)

Let's make this precious

(I think we probably will)

Let's make this precious

(I think we probably will)
