Long Term Lovers of Pain |
The letters that he wrote to her were shallow and regrettable |
His motorcycle injuries won’t make him unforgettable |
He’s like a firework display that’s been doused in her rain |
But the only lovers worth a damn |
Are the long term lovers of pain |
He’s made plans for plastic surgeons to be standing by their phones |
Upon her preference she can rearrange the structure his bones |
He knows he’s for the sewer when her laughter’s like a drain |
But the only lovers worth a damn |
Are the long term lovers of pain |
She would find him at her elbow buying parma ham and cheese |
And she knew her scant encouragement would bring him to his knees |
She resented these new powers — felt his passion pulled her reins |
But the only lovers worth a damn |
Are the long term lovers of pain |
So they went down to the Barrowlands. |
aesthetics on display |
And the kitchen floor was voted down for a mattress full of hay |
Those stupid Cupid-theories they now blissfully disdained |
'Cause the only lovers worth a damn |
Are the ones who can kiss in the rain |
'Cause the only lovers worth a damn |
Are the ones who can never ever be blamed |
Beware of the long term lovers of pain… |
Plastic surgeons — do be standing by your phones |
'Cause that ice-cold lady wants to rearrange my bones… |
