Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 moanin' the blues like the rest of the charts
Take me back
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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, "Will this love commend? Let it die, let it die"
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
And I'll smile with a limp, and I'll love with a limp
Till the clouds disappear from above
As the storm moves away, all I can say is
There's a towel in the dark for your love
[Verse 6]
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, "Will this love commend? Let it die, let it die,
Let it die"
[Verse 7]
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, "Will this love commend? Let it die, let it die,
Let it die"
