They woke to grey English morning nAnd to a strange honeymoon nThe girl who gave him all her love nAnd the man who said it still wouldn't do nnHis parents always worked hard nNever went to bed late nAnd though they were God's own people nThey're still the ones he loves to hate nnHe never wanted to nSuffer this fate nAll the girls have fallen for nThe man they love to hate nnThe city is an animal nIt snores and by day it roars nAnd though he loved to hate it nHe couldn't live without its flaws nnWith pastel curtains moaning nAt a thousand harsh words - then hush nThe girl she wanted to leave nBecause she loved the man too much nnHe never wanted to nSuffer this fate nAll the girls have fallen for nThe man they love to hate n nHis father was a fighter nAnd he practised on his son nHis mother was just some furniture nWho'd lost the will to run nnThe girl she wrote him a farewell note nAnd though he probably didn't care too much nThe girl she finally left him nBecause she loved the man too much
