Pretty Things - Office Love Lyrics
It was a grey dawn, penciled in lightlyThe morning screamed, neath the traffics feetThe razor burned commuters reflectionsIt didnt seem a visual treat.The office staff begin the humdrumMaking the hours and the money flow.The guilty lovers keep their secretAnd hope it doesnt show.Oh no office love is such a *****Oh no like a knife in the backHe catches the train up every morningFrom his croyden executive estateHes convinced he needs a new futureBut shes prepared to waitHe swears to step cleanly from a marriageThats become so tangled and confusedShe knows hes lying for his pleasuresHe doesnt see her cry.He doesnt see her die.Oh no office love is such a *****Oh no like a knife in the backShe goes home, knowing that it cant go onHer secret fears become too strongSeeing what little love she has shes losingHes the type that manages to sleep at nightThe guilt is safely locked awayBut it was just another day, and hes so tired.Her heart seemed set on destructionWith lips drawn pale and thinShe offered up love like a sacrificeAnd he was closing in.Her mother sat on the end of the bedThrough the dark hours of the nightWagging her finger saying honeyThis just isnt right.Oh no office love is such a *****Oh no like a knife in the back
