My love and I, we work well together
But often we're apart
Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah,
Till love breaks down, love breaks down
Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather
The sweet september rain
Rain on me like no other
Until I drown, until I drown
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down,
When love breaks down
My love and I, we are boxing clever
She'll never crowd me out
Fall be free as old confetti
And paint the town, paint the town
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
You join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex
When love breaks down,
When love breaks down
Tiffanys
Time is the healer, time was
on my hands
The bus stopped at Tiffany's
So I went to hear the band
I saw Cinderella, then the
curtain dropped
Time hung heavy on my hands
but today
The clock just stopped
I heard that music saw those
pictures on the wall
I fell in love with Tiffany's,
I thought it said it all
Soothed by your saxophones I
thought you'd understand
I'd love to sing my songs for
you but I don't know if I can
I said, I don't know if I can
I said, I don't know if I can
I don't know if I can
Midnight is striking there's a
pumpkin by the door
It's five o'clock and the
streets are clear am I alone once more?
I watched the dawn in an
electric storm, my compass blew haywire
There she stands with a
slipper in her hand
And her eyes were the colour
of fire
I saw you crying from that
doorway for some time
It's no use drying your eyes
'cos I see those telling signs
I saw you crying from that
doorway for some time
It's no use drying your eyes
'cos I see those telling signs
She said, I see those telling
signs
She said, I see those telling
signs
I see those telling signs
I heard that music saw those
pictures on the wall
I fell in love with Tiffany's,
I thought it said it all
Soothed by your saxophones I
thought you'd understand
I'd love to sing my songs for
you but I don't know if I can
I said, I don't know if I can
I said, don't know if I can
I don't know if I can
Time is no healer, in truth
she plays no part
When money's got you in her
pocket where can she put your heart?
She led a charmed life, so I
believe
Before she left she wrote a
note and this is how it reads
I saw you crying from that
doorway for sometime
It's no use drying your eyes
'cos I see those telling signs
I saw you crying from that
doorway for sometime
It's no use drying your eyes
'cos I see those telling signs
She said, I see those telling
signs
She said, I see those telling
signs
I see those telling signs
The Devil Has All The Best
Tunes
La la la la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la-la
La la la la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la-la
Heads or tails once I forget
I'm trying to master a new
alphabet
Far too obliging to ever admit
I've never been keen on this
'here boy' and 'sit'
So lyrically simple, like Ave
Maria
I don't want that ghost coming
back again
You will play fair
For when I say that this is
double or quits
I double and stay-ay-ay
One fine day, there must be
someone saying, I can say
With truth in my heart
No sub-clauses in the way, and
now make a start.
The devil always has the
finest tunes,
But of course it's always over
much too soon.
La la la la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la-la
La la la la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la-la
Open yolk, there was a time
I'd smile, tell (pretty lies)
Like I want you then so I want
you now
Guiding will perpetuate the
mess, as I count (on my fingers)
That we add up, to so much
worse
People can't be honeybees,
always
Fee-fi-fee, fo-fi-fum
I see you have met my
stumbling tongue
Just one more faux pas that I
can commit
Learning the French for my
eternal wit
So lyrically simple, like Ave
Maria
I'm standing outside this
narrative
What can I do, should I feign
sleep
Or, just cloister my heart,
and bury it deep.
One fine day, there must be
someone saying, I can say

But of course it's always over

There must be someone saying,
I can say
With truth in my heart
Paul McCartney's 'Yesterday,'
and now make a start.
