Billy Bragg - A Lover Sings

i want to thank my wonderful friend giolin for introducing me to this love song

Album: Brewing Up with Billy Bragg

You and I are victims of a love
That lost a lot in the translation
When I think of all the time that I spent
Sitting on the edge of your bed in anticipation
Of you giving in and us living in sin

A hot day, the smell of hairspray
And the sound of a shower running softly
It's things like this that remind me of how I felt
The first time you came back for coffee
The way you took it amazed me

Walking in the park, kissing in the dark
And my head against your pillow
Late at night a lover sings
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love

There is no real substitute
For a ball struck squarely and firmly
And you're the kind of girl who wants to
open up the bottle of pop
Too early in the journey
Our love went flat just like that

It doesn't matter the colour of the car
But what goes on beneath the bonnet
Is there a flag that flies above your heart
And is my name writ there upon it
Wedding cake and toothache
Equals love and pain

Walking in the park, kissing on the carpet
And your tights around your ankles
Late at night a lover thinks of these things
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
Adam and Eve are finding out all about
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
Teresa and Steve are finding out all about love

Long live the Dagenham bard. It fills my heart with joy hearing such genius. It also does him proud to know that he never knelt down to the cash cow as others did and do

Billy is king. Check out 1st 3 albums. P.S. Billy, don't be such a union man!!.

Amazing song. Amongst the most poignant lyrics I have ever heard and the sublime Hammond Organ sound of Kenny Craddock thrown in. All of the superlatives in the world could not get close to describing it.

@guwest2 Some of us like several genres, it's not a crime.

[guwest2]

we appear to have been invaded by septic Billy fans. Why can't they stick to C&W and metal? They're even listening to quality trance too now. 'It's the end of the world as we know it', in the words of some Greek band called REM.
