Song by XTC<br /><br>

I'm the man who murdered love <br>

Yeah, what do you think to that? <br>

I'm the man who murdered love <br>

Yeah, what do you think to that? <br>

<br>

He was begging on his bended knee <br>

For me to put him from his misery <br>

He hadn't worked at all this century <br>

Said I'd do a job for all humanity <br>

<br>

I'm the man who murdered love <br>

Yeah, what do you think to that? <br>

I'm the man who murdered love <br>

Yeah, what do you think to that? <br>

<br>

I put a bullet in his sugar head <br>

He thanked me kindly <br>

then he layed down dead <br>

Phoney roses blossomed where he bled <br>

Then all the cheering angels shook my <br>

hand and said <br>

<br>

I'm the man who murdered love <br>

Yeah, what do you think to that? <br>

I'm the man who murdered love <br>

Yeah, what do you think to that? <br>

<br>

Oh it's the middle of the song <br>

I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty <br>

And then I turned and said <br>

<br>

There'll be no more pain <br>

from broken hearts <br>

And no more lovers to be torn apart <br>

Before you throw me <br>

in your dungeon dark <br>

Your honour, they'll be putting statues up <br>

In every park <br>

<br>

I'm the man who murdered love <br>

Yeah, what do you think to that? <br>

I'm the man who murdered love <br>

Yeah, what do you think to that? <br>

<br>

So dear public I'm here to confess <br>

That I'm the one who freed us from this mess <br>

Love won't be calling at your adress <br>

'Cause what you never had you never miss, <br>

I guess <br>

<br>

I'm the man who murdered love <br>

Yeah, what do you think to that? <br>

I'm the man who murdered love <br>

Yeah, what do you think to that? <br>

<br>

If you never, ever use it <br>

You know you're gonna lose it <br>

If you never, ever kiss it <br>

How you ever gonna miss it?<br>

<br>
