You made promises you couldn't keep

Our love died painless in its sleep

We get up as the sun goes down

Out with him to paint the town


The white devil kills us slowly


So, tempers fray then silence reigns

And both of us get wet 

The romance has died

But we're still very much alive


The white devil kills us slowly 


This England is a prison cell

Where all that's well does not end well

I wander lonely as a clown

While you and he go paint the town


You made promises you couldn't keep

Our love died painless in its sleep


So tempers fray then silence reigns

And both of us get wet 

The romance has died

But we're still very much alive


The white devil kills us slowly
