Future Of The Left French Lessons lyrics

They say the price of love is a black hole
Where your friends were
Where your social life sits
Holding to a chasm of family engagements
and trips to the garden centre.
That is true enough if you choose it
Or it chooses you? (I forget which)
You could marry yourself to an orphan girl
and overcompensate on her birthday

Well I don't need coy carp swimming round my feet
and auburn haired children blocking my path
as I run to the disabled bathroom
topping of a twelve hour drinking spree.
Well I don't need coy carp swimming round my feet
and auburn haired children blocking my path
as I run to the disabled bathroom
topping of a twelve hour drinking spree.

Well they say the price of love is a lot of things
They say a lot if you give them the chance.
They will say it all and loudly
Sometimes they will say it more than once.

I'm reading you like a pamphlet
That I picked up from an idiot
On a unicycle in a town square
He is sad now, he was sadder then.
I am reading you like a pamphlet

That I picked up from an idiot
On a unicycle in a town square
He is sad now, he was sadder then.

Now I'm leading you by a candlelight
And it breaks my heart in two.
You can kid yourself that your dreams amount to more
than counting backwards from 4
It's a dangerous thing, ambrosia
Just buy the cream, apply it to the scar
and wait for emptiness

Way down in the plastics
Way down in the plugs
Way down in the carpet
A metaphor needs a better home
Way down in the plastics
Way down in the plugs
Way down in the carpet
A metaphor needs a better home

A rich kid stole a ball
The rich kid stole a ball
The rich kid stole a ball
The rich kid stole a ball
