Lovesick

Appears on: I'll Show You Mine CD/12"

words/music: wood/jones

Even though the thrust of love's sweet pain is real
Sliding into moist warmth dreams arouse
Influenza rain of summer binds your feet
And keeps you hanging down where you belong

Out to all the words
Out to all the broken hearts
Out to all the pain we feel when love is free to keep
Gone from all the nights
Washed up on Old Compton Street
With aching feet
Kill the posh ones they don't have to eat

We'll numb our souls with status quos
Roll over
Lay down
Like panting in the devil's deep blue sea
It tastes so sweet
It feels so neat
It's underground
Our lazy eyes are blind beneath the sun

Out to all the words
Out to all the broken hearts
Out to all the pain we feel when love is free to keep
Gone from all the nights
Washed up on Old Compton Street
With aching feet
Kill the posh ones they don't have to eat

In the sink's your rock and roll so
Fix 'em with the new
On one liqueur or two
Let it be
Sympathy

Close the curtains back against the day my love
We'll feed on drips of lust and cigarettes
My tongue's gone numb
What have you done to me my love
Who's been away is now returning home

(la lala la la la lala...)
