lyrics

Only you can slow my heart
And make it sink like a greasy lump in the washing up.
But in those times of talk and touch
You said you'd be my muse
If I would be your crutch.

I took an oath in your damp undergrowth,
You said you were looking for love,
I said I think it's close.
Wrapped in lace you offered me grace,
But your pillow talk was like a slap across my face.

There's two sides to what I'm saying:
I was drawing chalk lines while you were praying.
You say I'm so sweet but I'm full of conceit,
I'm a man of my word but my word is deceit.

We swore l'amour on the blossoms
But by the autumn they were all rotten.
Honey I'd forgotten those times.
The day you became my bride
I died just a little bit inside
Because girl:
Your love, your love, your love
Is not enough, not enough for me.

We went through the blow like children in the snow,
All the way to limbo where the good pagans go.
You carved my name on a big black tree
Then said "what about me?"
I said girl:
Your love, your love, your love
Is not enough, not enough for me.

There's a midnight rainbow curling up inside you,
Shining like a counterfeit sun
(a really dim one).
You seemed unconvinced,
You said you liked your words minced
And talked about forever.
I screamed NEVER NEVER NEVER!
Your love, your love, your love
Is not enough, not enough for me.
