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.
