When Romance Is Dead The Beautiful South

[Verse 1]
You'll 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

You'll 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 you'll know when love starts to fade
You'll burst into tears at each record that's played
He sits in the sun, you sulk in the shade
You'll know when love starts to fade

[Verse 2]
You'll 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 she's rolling her eyes, rolling her eyes

And you'll know when love starts to fade
That balancing act is no longer made
Like penny stacked high in amusement arcade
It's not what you're worth it's the way that you're laid
