Edwyn Collins The Magic Piper (Of Love) lyrics

I'm through with love hangovers, it's best that I stay sober
No rolling in the clover, no gretna green trip over
No honeymoon in Paris, I only feel embarrassed
For the cool cats, the charmed kittens

Both smitten by the love songs that he's written
Caught in the sights of a deadly sniper
The magic piper of love, the magic piper of love
Of love, of love

My girlfriend, she go blotto of cunnings and his grotto
It turns out he's a dirty old man the nice place that I want to be
Is sat up on this Christmas tree, while playing these games of
Catch as catch can 'cause he's a sweet talker

A silent stalker all the savvy of a street walker
More deadly than a horned viper the magic piper of love
The magic piper of love of love, of love


He's a heart breaker
A mover and a shaker
The magic piper of love

It's kind of hard to swallow
You know you've gotta follow
The magic piper of love

'Cause he's a city slicker
An expert politic-er
The magic piper of love

Of love, of love
Of love, of love
Of love, of love
