Love And Little White Lies

Marc Almond

Every day I watch my mirror

Getting a little older, wiser, sadder with the years

Missed chances

Forgotten romances

Starting now to loosen with the tears

I could fall in love

Any time, any place, any where

But I spent last night

Treading on valentines

Treading on valentines

You know it didn't mean a thing

I didn't make me give two damns

You know I thought I'd never fall in love

It only worked in films

Response, responsibilities, bravery, hardship

Giving up and giving too

Here's little things I think I mean

Some consequence to you

I'll never get the chance again

Faces heartbreakingly wonderful

All flash by me

Steaming neon's in the rain

Diamonds down the memory drain

But you inspire me, fuel and fire me

Never leave me

Or deceive me

We could sit out winter evenings

Laughing over Love and Little White Lies

Sit out winter evenings

Laughing over Love and Little White Lies



Bitter coffee

Stomach aching

Pass the time while our hearts are breaking

I've got faith in you

So don't you have faith in me?

Misted mornings

Damp in sorrow

Love me just the same tomorrow

Something blue and something borrowed

And a bruise inside of me



I'm drunk on your delivery

Intoxicated by your eyes

Got to find an antidote

Before we say goodbye

Car wrecks and romantic moons

With you and I the stars

We're somewhere in a midnight movie

Somewhere off afar



There's no ice cream in the interval

No sweets or cigarettes

Just you and I

And a cast of thousands

Trying to forget

We could sit singing songs for suckers

Blacked out with hymns of pain and sorrow

Oh kiss me once before you go

I may be dust tomorrow



Every day I watch my mirror

Getting a little older, wiser, sadder with the years

Missed chances

Forgotten romances

Starting now to loosen with the tears

My heart is pulsing brillian
