lyrics

ROMANTIC LOVE IS A VICIOUS LIE
(Lyrics by Brendan McAndrew)

Romantic love is a vicious lie
It tells us that we can compete
Upon a level playing field

So long and I’m sick of waiting
Thinking back to when my love was clean and new
So long and I’m tired of tear time
All I want to do is fall in love with you

Romantic love is a Tantalus
It tells us that we deserve
More than we can hope to get

So long and I’m sick of waiting
Thinking back to when my love was clean and new
So long and I’m tired of tear time
All I want to do is fall in love with you

Romantic love is a vicious lie
Only the part that hurts is true
Romantic love is a vicious lie
Only the part that hurts is true

Romantic love is a classic case
Of mutton dressing up as lamb
Feeling flustered and foolish

So long and I’m sick of waiting
Thinking back to when my love was clean and new
So long and I’m tired of tear time
All I want to do is fall in love with you

Romantic love is a vicious lie
Only the part that hurts is true
Romantic love is a vicious lie
Only the part that hurts is true
