Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There is a wall that runs right through me
Just like the city, I will never be joined
What is this love, why can I never hold it?
Did it really run out in those strangers' bedrooms?
[Verse 2]
I, I have decided at 25 that something must change
[Verse 3]
Saturday night in East Berlin
We took the U-Bahn to the East Side Gallery
I was sure I'd found love with this one lying with me
Crying again in the Hauptbahnhof
[Verse 4]
I, I have decided at 25 that something must change
[Verse 5]
After sex, the bitter taste, been fooled again, the search continues
After sex, the bitter taste, been fooled again, the search continues
[Verse 6]
After sex, the bitter taste, been fooled again, the search continues
After sex, the bitter taste, been fooled again, the search continues
(Concerned mothers of the West, teach your sons how to truly love)
After sex, the bitter taste, been fooled again, the search continues
Written by: Gordon Moakes, Kele Okereke, Matt Tong, Russell Lissack
