Love Has Gone

You're living in a world where all the lambs are

Frisky

And private eyes hold hand-guns that are hotter than

The whisky that they drink

The cops here never miss a hand-out and they

Never miss a detail

Supergrasses sell you wholesale but they'd like to make

It retail

Don't you think?

I saw you huddled in a parka by the fifteen furlong

Marker

What you told me was obscured by the hooves

And the cling-film clings around you

Choking off all of the sound you're making

Even though you scream it

From the roofs

Love has gone, love has taken a rain check

Love has left you with no forwarding address

Love has gone, love has sailed the evening tide

And the last surviving signal is distress

Love has gone?

You played them all the sickly crooners

All the sugar "moon" and "Juners"

But that waxworks never got you past first base

After all of that Scorsese you should know

Things don't come easy

Now you're shedding bitter tears by the case

Love has gone, love has taken a rain check

Love has left you with no forwarding address

Love has gone, love has sailed the evening tide

And the last surviving signal is distress

Love has gone?

Love has left you in Manila

With your "Off the Wall" and "Thriller"

And a bill that's mounting every single day

But the telex and the ticker tape

Just tell you what you can't escape

She's left you not a single thing to say

Love has gone, love has taken a rain check

Love has left you with no forwarding address

Love has gone, love has sailed the evening tide

And the last surviving signal is distress

Love has gone?
