Lessons In Love» - песня, написанная и исполненная в 1986 году британской группой новой волны – «Level 42». В 1980 - 1994 годах 30 синглов Level 42 входили в UK Singles Chart. Наивысший результат (№ 3, 1986) имела композиция «Lessons In Love».

Команда образовалась в 1979 году на острове Уайт, Англия, и изначально исполняла джаз-фанк-фьюжн в традициях Стэнли Кларка, впоследствии - поп-рок с элементами фанка, джаза и ритм-энд-блюза. Из 14 альбомов группы, входивших в UK Album Charts, два - RUNNING IN THE FAMILY (1987) и STARING AT THE SUN (1988) поднимались в списках до 2-го места. Специалисты высоко оценивали инструментальное мастерство участников группы, прежде всего - Марка Кинга, разработавшего виртуозную и своеобразную технику игры на бас-гитаре.

ТЕКСТ ПЕСНИ:

I'm not proud, I was wrong

And the truth is hard to take

I felt sure we had enough

But our love went overboard

Lifeboat lies lost at sea

I've been trying to reach your shore

Waves of doubt keep drowning me

All the dreams that we were building

We never fulfilled them

Could be better, should be better

For lessons in love

For restless eyes egos burn

And the mold is hard to break

Now we've waded in too deep

And love is overboard

Heavy hearts token words

All the hopes I ever had

Fade like footprints in the sand

All the homes that we were building

We never lived in

Could be better, should be better

Lessons in love

If we lose the time before us

The future will ignore us

We should use it, we could use it, yeah

Lessons in love

Lost without love...

Lessons in love

When will you ever learn

Lessons in love

When there's nowhere left to turn

Lessons in love

Don't let your spirit burn

Lessons in love

I'll wait 'till you return

All the dreams that we were building

We never fulfilled them

Could be better, should be better

For lessons in love

All the homes that we were building

We never lived in

Could be better, should be better

Lessons in love

If we lose the time before us

The future will ignore us

We should use it, we could use it, yeah

Lessons in love
