Lyrics Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg

Richard

Richard belongs to Jayne

And Jayne belongs to yesterday

How can I go on

When every alpha particle hides a neon nucleus

Neil belongs to love

And love belongs to no man

How can he go on

When no-one answers the adverts in his mind?

There will be parties, there will be fun

There will be prizes for everyone

And hey, hey, hey, here comes Richard

There will be ladies dressed in lace

I just want to see her face

When hey, hey, hey, here comes Richard

You helped me build this bed

But you won't help me sleep in it

When I fall between you and the wall

Our titanic love affair sails on the morning tide

I really love you style

Did you read it in the Look and Learn?

How long can we go on?

Do you think I only love you

Because you sleep with other boys
