Pretty Things - Office Love lyrics

rate me

2c

It was a grey dawn, penciled in lightly

33

The morning screamed, neath the traffic's feet

2b

The razor burned commuters reflections

23

It didn't seem a visual treat.

5

27

The office staff begin the humdrum

29

Making the hours and the money flow.

28

The guilty lovers keep their secret

1e

And hope it doesn't show.

5

26

Oh no office love is such a bitch

23

Oh no like a knife in the back

5

2a

He catches the train up every morning

26

From his croyden executive estate

29

He's convinced he needs a new future

1f

But she's prepared to wait

5

2e

He swears to step cleanly from a marriage

2a

That's become so tangled and confused

2b

She knows he's lying for his pleasures

1c

He doesn't see her cry.

1c

He doesn't see her die.

5

26

Oh no office love is such a bitch

23

Oh no like a knife in the back

5

2f

She goes home, knowing that it can't go on

27

Her secret fears become too strong

31

Seeing what little love she has she's losing

31

He's the type that manages to sleep at night

24

The guilt is safely locked away

34

But it was just another day, and he's so tired.

5

28

Her heart seemed set on destruction

22

With lips drawn pale and thin

29

She offered up love like a sacrifice

1b

And he was closing in.

5

29

Her mother sat on the end of the bed

28

Through the dark hours of the night

24

Wagging her finger saying honey

1b

This just isn't right.

5

26

Oh no office love is such a bitch

23

Oh no like a knife in the back
