When Romance Is Dead

Youll know when romance is dead
Your make up in a toolbox somewhere in the shed
His face is unshaven, the grass overgrown
From the shed to the bed is a web you call home

Youll know when romance is dead
That deathly cold blast from his side of the bed
Your dreams frozen over, your nightmares on ice
From the bedroom to the bathroom you say everything twice
(Everything twice)

And youll know when romance is dead
Youll burst into tears at each record thats played
He sits in the sun, you sulk in the shade
Youll know when love starts to fade

Youll know when romance is dead
From the brambles and thorns growing out of your head
Whenever you touch her she tuts or she sighs
One kiss goodnight and shes rolling her eyes

And youll know when love starts to fade
That balancing act is no longer made
Like penny stacked high in amusement arcade
Its not what youre worth its the way that youre laid
Yes youll know when love starts to fade

Like you knew when romance was alive
Each couple you passed theyd smile and high five
Like youll know when loves back on track
Uncontrollable laugh at each joke that you crack

Giggle and cackle and throw her head back
Her mouth is still smiling, her veins turning black
Her head is elastic but her neck is all slack

Youll know when loves on the rocks
You wearing headphones, him vest and socks
Youll know when loves on the slide
Whenever youre talking, the kids go outside

Youll know when romance is dead
When the look that you get is as hard as the bread
You open your mouth but your stories are stale
From front door to back door its blowing a gale
Youll know when love starts to fade
