lyrics

When your boiler’s broken, I will be the South of France.
When your day is dragging, I will scream like friday night.
And when your party’s run dry, I’ll be water into wine.

If you don’t love me
I won’t be loved
If you don’t love me there’ll be no one else

And when the traffic stands still, I will be your Tungsten Tank.
And when your feet won’t carry, I can roll like a train.
And when you feel you’re falling, I will meet you in the air.

If you don’t love me
I won’t be loved
If you don’t love me there’ll be no one else

If you don’t love me
I won’t be loved
If you don’t love me I don’t want love, love, love, love.

And when the bitters drown you, I will swim with you.
And when the darkness holds you, I will burn like the day.
And when you wake with no-one, I will lie with you.
And when you wake with no-one, I will lie with you.

If you don’t love me
I won’t be loved
If you don’t love me there’ll be no one else

If you don’t love me
I won’t be loved
If you don’t love me I don’t want love, love, love, love.
