Love Went Mad

Lyrics

Chorus:

I've looked at it every way I can

From under and above

And every chance I've had

My love went mad

Love went mad, love went mad

Do you feel like I feel?

Do you have a heart?

Do you have a heart of iron and steel?

Are you a man now you wear a man's hat?

Are you a man now or are you a rat?

You go to church quiet as a mouse

You're a big cheese now in the workhouse

With these vulgar fractions of the treble clef

I wish you luck with a capital 'F'

A self-made mug is hard to break

A silent partner in someone else's mistake

(Chorus)

Every day goes by without a hitch

You feel the urge becoming an itch

The boys in blue are hard to catch

They're busy turning Piccadilly into Brands Hatch

But with your fingers in your ears

Feeling bright as a button

Thinking "Thank God there'll be no more lamb dressed as mutton"

Playing family favourites on a tissue and a comb

Dying a thousand deaths in the safety of your own home

(Chorus)
