Smother Love |
The true romance is the ideal repression |
That you seek, that you dream of, that you look for in the streets |
That you find in the magazines, the cinema, the glossy shops |
And the music spins you round and round looking for the props |
The silken robe, the perfect little ring |
Will give you the illusion when it doesn’t mean a thing |
Step outside into the street and staring from the wall |
Is perfection of the happiness that makes you feel so small |
Romance, can you dance? |
D’you fit the right description? |
Do you love me? |
Do you love me? |
Do you want me for your own? |
Do you love me, say you need me So you know that I’m the one |
Tell me I’m your everything, let us build a home |
We can build a house for two, with little ones to follow |
The proof of our normality that justifies tomorrow |
Romance, romance |
Do you love me? |
Say you do We can leave the world behind and make it just for two |
Love don’t make the world go round, it holds it right in place |
Keeps us thinking love’s too pure to see another face |
Love’s another skin-trap, another social weapon |
Another way to make men slaves and women at their beckon |
Love’s another sterile gift, another shit condition |
That keeps us seeing just the one and others not existing |
Woman in a holy myth, a gift of mans expression |
She’s sweet, defenceless, golden-eyed, a gift of gods repression |
If we didn’t have these codes for love, of tokens and positions |
We’d find ourselves as lovers still, not tokens of possessions |
It’s a natural, it’s a romance, without the power and greed |
We can fight to life the cover if you want to sow a seed |
Do you love me? |
Do you? |
Do you? |
Don’t you see they aim to smother |
The actual possibilities of seeing all the others? |
