A Lover Sings - Billy Bragg


    You and I are victims of a love
    That lost a lot in the translation
    When I think of all the time that I spent
    Sitting on the edge of your bed in anticipation
    Of you giving in and us living in sin

    A hot day, the smell of hairspray
    And the sound of a shower running softly
    It's things like this that remind me how I felt
    The first time you came back for coffee
    The way you took it amazed me

    Walking in the park, kissing in the dark
    And my head against your pillow
    Late at night a lover sings
    Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
    I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love

    There is no real substitute
    For a ball struck squarely and firmly
    And you're the kind of girl who wants to open up the bottle of pop
    Too early in the journey
    Our love went flat just like that

    It doesn't matter the colour of the car
    But what goes on beneath the bonnet
    Is there a flag that flies above your heart
    And is my name writ there upon it
    Wedding cake and toothache
    Equals love and pain

    Walking in the park, kissing on the carpet
    And your tights around your ankles
    Late at night a lover thinks of these things
    Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
    I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
    Adam and Eve are finding out all about
    Adam and Eve are finding out all about
    Teresa and Steve are finding out all about love
