So far i've not really stayed in touch
Well you knew as much it's no surprise that today I'll get up early too from a lack of anything to do And I might as well just grin and bear it Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument And you have not really stayed in touch Well I knew as much it's no surprise that today I get up for round two with nothing to do Except get a touch of flu And I might as well grin and bear it Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument And in any case i'd rather wear it It's like a badhead in the morning And I know And I might as well grin and bear it Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument And in any case i'd rather wear it It's like a badhead in the morning (repeat) |

All these dirty words
They make us look so dumb Been drinking far too much And neither of us mean what we say (chorus) Well you and I Collapsed in love And it looks like we might have made it, Yes it looks like we've made it to the end What happened to us Soon it will be gone forever Infatuated only with ourselves And neither of us can think straight anymore (chorus x 2) |

A malady has taken him over
Coughing tar in his japanese motor The lights are magic And he feels lucky And he's got money Shoots like an arrow - oh London loves The mystery of a speeding car London loves The misery of a speeding heart Its love u like, and everyone's at it And words are cheap when the mind is elastic He loves the violence Keeps ticking over So sleep together Before today is sold forever London loves The way people just fall apart London loves The way you just don't stand a chance London loves The mystery of a speeding car O-oh o-oh o-oh o-oh London loves The mystery of a speeding car London loves The misery of a speeding heart London loves The mystery London loves The way people just fall apart London loves The way we just don't stand a chance London loves A speeding heart |

And into the sea goes pretty england and me
Around the bay of biscay and back for tea Hit traffic on the dogger bank Up the thames to find a taxi rank Sail on by with the tide and go asleep And the radio says (chorus) This is a low But it won't hurt you When you are alone it will be there with you Finding ways to stay solo On the tyne forth and cramity There's a low in the high forties And saturday's locked away on the pier Not fast enough dear On the malin head, blackpool looks blue and red And the queen, she's gone round the bend Jumped off land's end (chorus x 3) |
