One Last Love Song - The Beautiful South

I once had a friend who I loved from my heart

But I went on and left her 'fore I’d made a start

Now I’m moaning the blues like the rest of the charts

Take me back…

So I’ll cry with a limp, just get by on a limp

Till these blue eyes of mine, they are closed

So here’s to an old-fashioned peck on the cheek

And farewell, my sweet Northern Rose

Give me one last love song

To bring you back, bring you back

Give me one last video

Just dressed in black, dressed in black

Give him a chorus and that bit at the end

Where he wails on and on 'bout the loss of a friend

Let him scream loudly, 'Well, this love could mend'

Let it die, let it die…

Those bloody great ballads we hated at first

Well I bought them all, now I’m writing worse

Save us from baldness and saving the earth

Take me back…

And I’ll smile with a limp, and I’ll love with a limp

Till the clouds disappear from above

And as the storm moves away, all I can say

Is there’s a towel on the door for your love
