Lyrics For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn - Steve Harley, Stephen Malcolm Ronald Nice

For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn

They ran away for true love
Saying they knew life wasn’t fair
Thought they’d be together for all times
They’d always have this true love
For they made each other swear
Two kids, they never saw the signs
They settled in a new life
And the bairn grew slow inside
They showed a disregard and little time
Oh, this is when the alpha and the omega collide
No hope, no conscience, no crime
But it cannot be what it appears to be
Nothing living lies that still
For sale, baby shoes, never worn
It’s a bitter pill
They thought they had a true love
It was fire-proof and immune
They never the truth, that this is all
And when the spell was shattered
When they broke from their cocoon
Two kids, they never saw the fall
But it cannot be what it appears to be
Nothing living lies that still
For sale, baby shoes, never worn
It’s a bitter pill
Nobody told them
Nobody made the call
Nobody cared for them at all
Nobody warned them
Nobody saw the signs
Two kinds from broken lines
This is when the alpha and the omega collide
No hope, no conscience, no crime
But it cannot be what it appears to be
Nothing living lies that still
For sale, baby shoes, never worn
It’s a bitter pill
No, it cannot be what it appears to be
Nothing living lies that still
For sale, baby shoes, never worn
It’s a bitter pill
