about
The difficulties of finding and keeping a relationship.
lyrics
You’re lost in love – you wouldn’t believe it
You’ve lost your heart – you want to retrieve it
Your life is in her hands
And the vice-like grip is sore
Just like it’s been
So many times before
You loved this girl – as soon as you met her
No matter what – you cannot forget her
She really counts on you
But you think she’s keeping score
Just like it’s been
So many times before
Love affairs have left you scarred
They’re so long and they’re so damned hard
The brightest day or the blackest night
You never seem to get the balance right
You’re lost in love - and there’s a new rumpus
You’re poles apart – and you don’t have a compass
There’s no direction home
So you head down town for more
Just like you’ve done
So many times before
I hope that you can find a friend
Who's gonna bring this to an end
And steer you from extremes
So you can open up and find your dreams
Now then, son, relax - don’t hold her to ransom
Look at the facts – she thinks that you’re handsome
Despite a face like cheese
And a brain made out of straw
Just like it’s been
So many times before
You’ve lost your heart – you want to retrieve it
Your life is in her hands
And the vice-like grip is sore
Just like it’s been
So many times before
You loved this girl – as soon as you met her
No matter what – you cannot forget her
She really counts on you
But you think she’s keeping score
Just like it’s been
So many times before
Love affairs have left you scarred
They’re so long and they’re so damned hard
The brightest day or the blackest night
You never seem to get the balance right
You’re lost in love - and there’s a new rumpus
You’re poles apart – and you don’t have a compass
There’s no direction home
So you head down town for more
Just like you’ve done
So many times before
I hope that you can find a friend
Who's gonna bring this to an end
And steer you from extremes
So you can open up and find your dreams
Now then, son, relax - don’t hold her to ransom
Look at the facts – she thinks that you’re handsome
Despite a face like cheese
And a brain made out of straw
Just like it’s been
So many times before
