Love On The Rocks

by Steve Harley

on The Candidate (1979)

Harley

Someone's played a rotten trick getting back at me
It's been due for such a long time, it was never hard to see
A ragged state of disarray bewildered constantly
Gotta get away from here, I must get home.

The only way to think of this
The only way to consider this is like a love on the rocks.

Deja-vu one time too many came bleak and shamefully
It kept teasing me a pitiful wretch, away I had to flee
I'd had a time of endless fun but never more will be
Gotta get away from here, I must get home.

The only way to think of this
The only way to consider this is like a love on the rocks.

(Home) always a lie away
(Home) always a promise away
(Home) always a life away.

The only way to think of this
The only way to consider this is like a love on the rocks.
