Poitiers [pwatje] ( listen) is a city on the Clain river in west central France. It is a commune and the capital of the Vienne department and of the Poitou-Charentes region. The centre is picturesque and its streets are interesting for predominant remains of historical architecture, especially from the Romanesque period. Two major military battles occurred near the city: in 732, the Battle of Poitiers (also known as the Battle of Tours), in which the Franks commanded by Charles Martel halted the expansion of the Umayyad Caliphate, and in 1356, the Battle of Poitiers, a key victory for English forces during the Hundred Years' War.
Poitiers is strategically situated on the Seuil du Poitou, a shallow zone which is a gap between the Armorican and the Central Massif and connects the Aquitaine Basin to the Paris Basin. Poitiers's primary site sits on a vast promontory between the valleys of the Boivre and the Clain. The old town occupies the slopes and summit of a plateau which rises 130 feet (40 m) above the streams which surround it on three sides.

[Chorus:]
I Need You Like The Moon Needs The Sun To Shine
Oh Every Second You Deh 'pon My Mind
Have You Ever Seen The World With Loving Eyes
It's Beautiful And Nice
And Every Moment's A Surprise
Have You Ever Heard How The Things Them Sound With
Loving Ears
It Will Make You Feel So Fine
And Makes You Wanna Dance And Smile
Do You Know What Your Words Can Do
When There Is Love In Them
Them Can Crow Girls To Queens
And Beggars To Kings
Love Is The Reaason For Everything
And That's Why I And I Ah Sing
[Chorus]
Good God Love Is In Danger
I'm Searching So Long Now
But It's Just Hate I Find
Good God I Feel Like A Stranger
I Walked Through The City
And It's Just Sey Them Like
Oh It's Just Real Love I Look For
But All This Land Got To Offer Is Hatred And Shame
