Oh the English rain
seems to follow me again
all the way from Sintra Portugal
it's where I met you just one year ago

oh sweet memory (riding motorbikes down to the sea)
didn't feel like reality even when it was happening

and I want everything to stay
the same as yesterday
I want everything to stay the same

I saw you board the Paris train
your little halo hung sideways
you didn't know I was there to see you go
standing in your furs and your arms around another fool

oh tortured memory ( Ceasar Paciotti's standing in the city square)
you smothered everything, just when it started happening

and I want everything to stay ( I wanted to stay)
the same as yesterday
I want everything to stay the same ( I want it to stay)

love is a deadly potion
stabs the heart and bleeds emotion
and now nothing is the same again

oh the politics of love
oh the politics of love and not feeling loved
I know you, you doubted me all along
even when I told you that you were the one
and in the street I left a lonely rose
that no one knows, and no one knows, and no one knows
but me

I want everything to stay
the same as yesterday
want everything to stay the same

love is a deady potion
stabs the heart and bleeds emotion
love is a chain reaction
we just thought it was attraction

and I never wanted to change ( and now you forced me)
and I never wanted to change ( and how you forced me)

and I know it for a fact.
