Squeeze - House of Love

She was full of lies and boredom
It came as no surprise that she would cheat
Her nails were long and sharp
But she didn't play the harp

She wasn't an angel, I told her
But she wasn't able to understand my words
Rich pickings in reverse

I wasn't Shakespeare, it's simple
Did she expect me to kiss her feet?

A very acidic tongue
Waggled in her head
Life was lots of fun
At times, I had to smile
In front of everyone

We seemed the best of friends
Life had just begun
When on the roof a tile began to slip
The house of love caved in and that was it

She was full of tears by nature
It came to me so clear that she would creep
Her eyes were stale and spun
Like marbles in the sun

She wasn't a princess, I told her
And so I witnessed the slaying of my life
That lasted half the night

I wasn't Jesus, believe me
Our love was seedless and incomplete

A very acidic tongue
Waggled in her head
Life was lots of fun
At times, I had to smile
In front of everyone

We seemed the best of friends
Life had just begun
When on the roof a tile began to slip
The house of love caved in and that was it

A very acidic tongue
Waggled in her head
Life was lots of fun
At times, I had to smile
In front of everyone

We seemed the best of friends
Life had just begun
When on the roof a tile began to slip
The house of love caved in and that was it

That was it
Oh oh oh, that was it
Oh oh oh, that was it
Oh, that was it
Oh...
