behind the iron gates
 the shifts were worked in silence
 each weekend beckoned like Ulysses'Sirens
 as the words were few,we'd listen to the radio
 it was loud and irritated me so 
 
 i'll tell u i love u 
 i'll tell u i love u 
 like my favourite pop song
 
 these promises won't keep
 though every road begins and ends with u
 the fall still hurts ,the bruise still blue
 i 'll paint u pictures of bright tomorrows
 but the money goes and the time goes too
 
 i'll tell i love u
 i'll tell i love u
 like my favourite pop song
 
 i'll tell i love u
 like the stars above u
 like my favourite pop song
 favourite pop song
 
 wild, unwise ,trivialized ,untrue
 
 squander these gifts
 like another sunday supplement
 they're just so much cash
 in the hands of the government
 
 i'll tell i love u
 i'll tell i love u
 like my favourite pop song
 favourite pop song
