lyrics

Wiping up all the Milo
I spilt on the lino on the kitchen floor
When you go and leave me alone
It tends to make
Everything structured and slow

I can’t find true love, but I can be true
I can find reasons for being with you
But these doubts just won’t let me go

I feel there’s something you know that I don’t
So why don’t you give me a go?
Eyelashes blink with no clothes
It makes you look kind of like Marilyn Monroe
With six toes and

I can’t find true love, but I can be true
I can find reasons for being with you
Psycho semantics and pro-active rules
But these doubts just won’t let me go

Newspapers talk in a terrible tone
Chew up and spit out the bone
We read and believe what we watch on the screen
We don’t have to leave the home

Wiping up all the Milo
I spilt on the lino on the kitchen floor

I can’t find true love, but I can be true
I can find reasons for being with you
Psycho semantics and pro-active rules
I can find reasons for being with you
But these doubts just won’t let me go
