Love Won't Work

Love Won't Work - Gene

Now we've entered new Britannia

Lord don't tell me

Love won't work

I've seen my face

Of course I know my place

Yes I started life retarded

Voices told me take your chances

I run through all the things

I've said and done

Is it too late to find someone

I lie in wait to be undone

By anyone

In bars from Perth to Hampstead we crowd

And canonize the stupid

Still proud the pavements full

The praise is loud

At last a victim well endowed

With every quality allowed

The truth will out

Some thrive we try to keep ourselves alive

Strike first the rich must be deprived

Or high gate armies will arrive

I've seen the right

Love won't work

We've lost the urge

Love won't work

Now I come first

Love won't work

We've lost the urge

Love won't work

Now I come first
