[Verse 1]
I once had a friend who I loved from my heart
But I went on and left her 'fore I'd made a start
Now I'm moaning the blues like the rest of the charts
Take me back...

So I'll cry with a limp, just get by on a limp
Till these blue eyes of mine, they are closed
So here's to an old-fashioned peck on the cheek
And farewell, my sweet Northern Rose

[Chorus]
Give me one last love song
To bring you back, bring you back
Give me one last video
Just dressed in black, dressed in black

Give him a chorus and that bit at the end
Where he wails on and on 'bout the loss of a friend
Let him scream loudly, 'Well, this love could mend'
Let it die, let it die...

[Verse 2]
Those bloody great ballads we hated at first
Well I bought them all, now I'm writing worse
Save us from baldness and saving the earth
Take me back...
And I'll smile with a limp, and I'll love with a limp
Till the clouds disappear from above
And as the storm moves away, all I can say
Is there's a towel on the door for your love

[Chorus]
