Loveless Love
Love is like a hydrant, it turns off and on
Like some friendships when your money's gone
Love stands in with the loan sharks
When your heart's in tongs
If I had some strong wings like an aeroplane
Had some broad wings like an aeroplane
I would fly away forever
Never to come again
Oh love, oh love, oh loveless love
Has said our hearts of goldless gold
From milkless milk, and silkless silk
We are growing used to soulless souls
Such grafting times we never saw
That's why we have a pure food law
In everything we find a flaw
Even love, oh love, oh loveless love
Just to fly away from loveless love
Like some friendships when your money's gone
Love stands in with the loan sharks
When your heart's in tongs
If I had some strong wings like an aeroplane
Had some broad wings like an aeroplane
I would fly away forever
Never to come again
Oh love, oh love, oh loveless love
Has said our hearts of goldless gold
From milkless milk, and silkless silk
We are growing used to soulless souls
Such grafting times we never saw
That's why we have a pure food law
In everything we find a flaw
Even love, oh love, oh loveless love
Just to fly away from loveless love
