作词 : Stranglers
  They woke to grey English morning, and to a strange honeymoon
 The girl who gave him all her love and the man who said it still wouldn't do
 His parents always worked hard, never went to bed late
 And though they were God's own people, they're still the ones he loves to hate
 
 
 He never wanted to suffer this fate
 All the girls have fallen for the man the love to hate
 
 
 The city is an animal, it snores and by day it roars
 And though he loved to hate it he couldn't live without it's flaws
 With personal curtains moaning at a thousand harsh words then hush
 The girl she wanted to leave because she loved the man too much
 
 
 He never wanted to suffer this fate
 All the girls have fallen for the man the love to hate
 
 His father was a fighter and he practised on his son
 His mother was just some furniture who'd lost the will to run
 The girl she wrote him a farewell note and though he probably didn't care too much
 The girl she finally left him because she loved the man too much
