I won't share you
I won't share you
I won't share you
I won't share you
With the drive and ambition  
with the drive
The zeal I feel
the ambition
This is my time  
and the zeal I feel
 
this is my time
The note I wrote  
as the note I wrote  
As she read, she said:
was read, she said
"Has the Perrier gone straight to my head
has the Perrier gone
  Or is life sick and cruel, instead?"
straight to my head  
 
or is life plainly sick and cruel, instead?
"YES!"
"YES!"
 
No-no-no-no-no-no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
 
I won't share you
I won't share you
I won't share you
I won't share you
With the drive
with the drive and the dreams inside
And the dreams inside
this is my time
This is my time
 
Life tends to come and go  
Life tends to come and go  
That's OK as long as you know
well, that's OK
just as long as you know  
Life tends to come and go
Life tends to come and go
As long as you know
well, that's OK
 
just as long as you know
Know, know, know, know

Description: A previously uncirculated video for "I Won't Share You" was leaked on the internet at the end of 2008. It is credited to [[Director::Derek Jarman]], from 1987 but was supposedly put together in the early 1990s for a multimedia exhibition organized by Rough Trade which would have raised money for the Terrance Higgins Trust. The planning ended when Rough Trade went into liquidation. The video was therefore only half finished, it would have had band footage overlayed (like the "Ask" and "Panic" videos).

Lyrics

I won't share you
I won't share you
with the drive
the ambition
and the zeal I feel
this is my time
as the note I wrote
was read, she said
has the Perrier gone
straight to my head
or is life plainly sick and cruel, instead?
"YES!"
No-no-no-no-no-no
I won't share you
I won't share you
with the drive and the dreams inside
this is my time
Life tends to come and go
well, that's OK
just as long as you know
Life tends to come and go
well, that's OK
just as long as you know
I won't share you
I won't share you
with the drive
and the dreams inside
this is my time
this is my time
