lyrics

Record spins round, black water runs down
Eyes empty and green as gin bottles
Piled high in the can ashes fly shaky hand
With class she fills another glass

Love lives on in a pen and a song
Song that the love birds are singin'

Chorus:
They sing love is a many splendored thing

They put him behind walls where they filled him full of lightning
Volts and bolts they tried to cure a wild disease
Storm rolled away and he'll never be the same
Had to leave him there go care for the family

She wears a black dress from a trip took to China
Red hair and the house in a mess
Two t's double crossed, to fates both committed
He's been taken, she's been lost

But love lives on in a pen and a song
Song that the love birds are singing

Chorus:

Put him behind walls where they held back all the lightning
Pills now what they fill to cure a wild disease
Storm never came and he'll never be the same
Don't leave me there...don't leave me there
Don't leave me there come care for your family

Now the record spins round, black water makes a sound
Eyes empty and brown as ale bottles
Piled high in the can ashes fly shaky hand
With class I fill another glass

Love lives on in a diary and a song
Song that the love birds are singin'

Chorus:

The three of them sing sweet harmonies together which have become a trademark of the band. The P’s & Q’s put on a rousing live show which is both boot-stomping and sweetly intimate. ... more
