All is fair in love and war

The piper calls the tune

You haven't really played the game

Til you've broken all the rules

So take the best of everything

The worst we can refuse

I can't say if we'll win in the end

But we've got nothing to lose



And when we thought that time stood still

Then changes come too soon

And the songs we hum are out of date

But you can't forget the tune

You pay the price for holding on

When you know it's time to choose

I can't say if we'll win in the end

But we've got nothing to lose



There's nothing to lose now

Like fools we rush in too soon

Two steps back for every one we take

We're adding salt to the wounds 

We're adding salt to the wounds 



Last to heed the warning signs

That dance before our eyes

And shadows whisper told you so's

Oh how the fools were wise

I'd only learnt to love the girl

When I heard the news I didn't say we'd win in the end

But we had nothing to lose
