If You Loved Me At All - Julian Cope

Hey, I had a love as hard as stone

Keep your nerve if you loved me at all

There lies my head, it’s blown

Better still if you loved me at all

Don’t have a faith just to call my own

Defend your race, defend it all if you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

Pretty, pretty, be my love

Listen to me if you loved me at all

All these thoughts come racing in

If you loved me at all

I can’t allow my heart to be burning

I couldn’t stop my head from busting

If you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

Pretty, pretty, be my eyes

See through me if you loved me at all

The boat of love has been capsized

In sight of land but we’re cold & drifting

& if I seem to be yawning

The restless sea must be my yearning

If you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

Walk in your town & I knew you was changed

& if you loved me at all

You’d keep your hounds away, away

& hear my cries to be loving

Heed my cries to be hearing

If you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

[almost unintelligible groan & whispers —

But you can maybe make out phrases:]

Not a soul…

Down, down, down, soul…

In the sight of you…

Phenomonal doubts that scar…

Listen to the void…

Listen to the void

You don’t love me at all

You don’t love me at all

You don’t love me at all

You don’t love me at all

You don’t love me at all!

(She doesn’t love me at all!)

If you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

If you loved me at all

You don’t love me love me love me

Love me love me love me!
