XTC - I'm The Man Who Murdered Love lyrics

rate me

I'm the man who murdered love Yeah, what do you think to that? I'm the man who murdered love Yeah, what do you think to that? He was begging on his bended knee For me to put him from his misery He hadn't worked at all this century Said I'd do a job for all humanity I'm the man who murdered love Yeah, what do you think to that? I'm the man who murdered love Yeah, what do you think to that? I put a bullet in his sugar head He thanked me kindly then he layed down dead Phoney roses blossomed where he bled Then all the cheering angels shook my hand and said I'm the man who murdered love Yeah, what do you think to that? I'm the man who murdered love Yeah, what do you think to that? Oh it's the middle of the song I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty And then I turned and said There'll be no more pain from broken hearts And no more lovers to be torn apart Before you throw me in your dungeon dark Your honour, they'll be putting statues up In every park I'm the man who murdered love Yeah, what do you think to that? I'm the man who murdered love Yeah, what do you think to that? So dear public I'm here to confess That I'm the one who freed us from this mess Love won't be calling at your adress 'Cause what you never had you never miss, I guess I'm the man who murdered love Yeah, what do you think to that? I'm the man who murdered love Yeah, what do you think to that? If you never, ever use it You know you're gonna lose it If you never, ever kiss it How you ever gonna miss it?
