The Beautiful South - One Last Love Song lyrics

rate me

(Heaton/Rotheray)

I once had a friend who I loved from my heart

But I went on and left her 'fore I'd made a start

Now I'm moaning the blues like the rest of the charts

Take me back

So I'll cry with a limp

Just get by on a limb

Till these blue eyes of mine they are closed

So here's to an old fashioned peck on the cheek

And farewell my sweet Northern Rose

Give me one last love song

To bring you back, bring you back

Give me one last video, just dressed in black, dressed in black

Give him a chorus and that bit at the end

Where he wails on and on 'bout the loss of a friend

Let him scream loudly 'well this love could mend'

Let it die, let it die

Those bloody great ballads we hated at first

Well I bought them all, now I'm writing worse

Save us from baldness and saving the earth

Take me back

And I'll smile with a limp

And I'll love with a limp

Till the clouds disappear from above

And as the storm moves away all I can say

Is there's a towel on the door for your love

Give me one last love song

To bring you back, bring you back

Give me one last video, just dressed in black, dressed in black

Give him a chorus and that bit at the end

Where he wails on and on 'bout the loss of a friend

Let him scream loudly 'well this love could mend'

Let it die, let it die, let it die
