lyrics

Love has Gone
(Skaith/Jones)


You're living in a world where all the lambs are frisky
And private eyes hold hold-guns that are hotter than
The whisky that they drink
The cops here never miss a hand-out and they
Never miss a detail
Super grasses sell you wholesale but they'd like to make it retail
Don't you think?

I saw you huddled in a parka by the fifteen furlong marker
What you told me was obscured by the hooves
And the cling-film clings around you
Choking off all of the sound you're making
Even though you scream it
From the roofs

Love has gone, taken a rain check
Left you with no forwarding address
Love has gone, sailed the evening tide
The last surviving signal was distress
Love has gone …

You played them all the sickly crooners
All the sugar "moon" and "Juners"
But that waxworks never got you past first base
After all of that Scorsese you should know
Things don't come easy
Now you're shedding bitter tears by the case

Love has gone, taken a rain check
Left you with no forwarding address
Love has gone, sailed the evening tide
The last surviving signal was distress

Love has left you in Manila
With your "Off the Wall" and "Thriller"
And a bill that's mounting every single day
And the telex and the ticker tape
They tell you what you can't escape
She's left you not a single thing to say
Except love has gone.

Love has gone, taken a rain check
Left you with no forwarding address
Love has gone, sailed the evening tide
The last surviving signal is distress
Love has gone, taken a rain check
Left you with no forwarding address
Love has gone, sailed the evening tide
And you’ll never, ever, never cry
Your way out of this mess
Your love has gone.
