LYRICS
WHAT LOVE IS
Imagine if I was an alien
Sent down from Outer Space to judge you all
Well, it’s a good job I’m not
All I would see would be a load of wars
Disease and poverty and worst of all
This irritating, strange thing called love
I just don’t understand what love is
I’ve heard about it but it doesn’t really make any sense
I just don’t understand what love is
Why don’t you write me a guide?
I bet you can’t if you tried
Many philosophers have struggled with it vainly and died
The truth is, love is just an evil lie
Perpetuated by the Government
It doesn’t really exist
Society’s completely full of fools
Who make us follow all these stupid rules
Like having girlfriends and children and picnics in the park
And singing silly little love songs, la-di-da, da-di-da
I just don’t understand what love is
It sounds like just a load of compromise and shouting to me
I just don’t understand what love is
It’s just a horrible con
To make us all get along
Why don’t we join as one and realise it’s totally wrong?
I just don’t understand what love is
I’ve never done it, but I’m sure it can’t be good for your skin
I just don’t understand what love is
I hope you all understand
If everything goes as planned
When I’m Prime Minister, I’m gonna have it totally banned
And if all the world was a slice of birthday cake
Then I’d be a solitary candle on its crust
Flame flickering in the winter wind
A wind so harsh that it blows the cake
Off the table top into a waiting bin
Then the council take the bin away
And fling its contents on a great big fire
I just don’t understand what love is
I’ve thought about it every day for over 32 years
I just don’t understand what love is
I don’t think I wanna know
It’s really causing me woe
I don’t know really why you’d bother with it honestly though
I just don’t understand what love is
This isn’t bitterness, it’s merely philosophical doubt
I just don’t understand what love is
I think this topic is dead
I am not interested
I’m gonna go and read some comics and watch telly instead
Don’t wanna know
Don’t wanna know
