Billy Bragg - Richard lyrics

rate me

Richard belongs to Jayne

And Jayne belongs to yesterday

How can I go on

When every alpha particle hides a neon nucleus

Neil belongs to love

And love belongs to no man

How can he go on

When no-one answers the adverts in his mind?

Chorus:

There will be parties, there will be fun

There will be prizes for everyone

And hey, hey, hey, here comes Richard

There will be ladies dressed in lace

I just want to see her face

When hey, hey, hey, here comes Richard

You helped me build this bed

But you won't help me sleep in it

When I fall between you and the wall

Our titanic love affair sails on the morning tide

Chorus

I really love you style

Did you read it in the Look and Learn?

How long can we go on?

Do you think I only love you

Because you sleep with other boys

Chorus
