Office Love |
It was a grey dawn, penciled in lightly |
The morning screamed, neath the traffic’s feet |
The razor burned commuters reflections |
It didn’t seem a visual treat |
The office staff begin the humdrum |
Making the hours and the money flow |
The guilty lovers keep their secret |
And hope it doesn’t show |
Oh no office love is such a bitch |
Oh no like a knife in the back |
He catches the train up every morning |
From his Croyden executive estate |
He’s convinced he needs a new future |
But she’s prepared to wait |
He swears to step cleanly from a marriage |
That’s become so tangled and confused |
She knows he’s lying for his pleasures |
He doesn’t see her cry |
He doesn’t see her die |
Oh no office love is such a bitch |
Oh no like a knife in the back |
She goes home, knowing that it can’t go on |
Her secret fears become too strong |
Seeing what little love she has she’s losing |
He’s the type that manages to sleep at night |
The guilt is safely locked away |
But it was just another day, and he’s so tired |
Her heart seemed set on destruction |
With lips drawn pale and thin |
She offered up love like a sacrifice |
And he was closing in |
Her mother sat on the end of the bed |
Through the dark hours of the night |
Wagging her finger saying honey |
This just isn’t right |
Oh no office love is such a bitch |
Oh no like a knife in the back |
