Beautiful South - When Romance Is Dead lyrics

You?ll know when romance is dead

Your make up in a toolbox somewhere in the shed

His face is unshaven, the grass overgrown

From the shed to the bed is a web you call home

You?ll know when romance is dead

That deathly cold blast from his side of the bed

Your dreams frozen over, your nightmares on ice

From the bedroom to the bathroom you say everything twice

(Everything twice)

And you?ll know when romance is dead

You?ll burst into tears at each record that?s played

He sits in the sun, you sulk in the shade

You?ll know when love starts to fade

You?ll know when romance is dead

From the brambles and thorns growing out of your head

Whenever you touch her she tuts or she sighs

One kiss goodnight and she?s rolling her eyes

And you?ll know when love starts to fade

That balancing act is no longer made

Like penny stacked high in amusement arcade

It?s not what you?re worth it?s the way that you?re laid

Yes you?ll know when love starts to fade

Like you knew when romance was alive

Each couple you passed they?d smile and high five

Like you?ll know when love?s back on track

Uncontrollable laugh at each joke that you crack

Giggle and cackle and throw her head back

Her mouth is still smiling, her veins turning black

Her head is elastic but her neck is all slack

You?ll know when love?s on the rocks

You wearing headphones, him vest and socks

You?ll know when love?s on the slide

Whenever you?re talking, the kids go outside

You?ll know when romance is dead

When the look that you get is as hard as the bread

You open your mouth but your stories are stale

From front door to back door it?s blowing a gale

You?ll know when love starts to fade
