Steve Harley - Loveless lyrics

Harley In a daggers-drown debate, you get caught in the crossfire of words Aimed at getting you to sing for your life though you know it's absurd And you're limited to one gla** of wine when your heart's set on thirds And you're led to the river of sighs to get fed to the birds while children stare Cause you're loveless and the world don't care Any time is the right time to go if you've finished your act And when the camera pans the man with the gun in a suicide pact Though you've been learning to survive with your dignity and memories intact Cause it's easier to die in your sleep when the city's been sacked, you're over there And you're loveless and the world don't care When you're naked in the sun and your neighbours start to gossip and sneer And your sponsors want more, forgetting any more could end your career Then some nurse who's been cursed with a grin that can stab like a spear Tells you nothing's gonna save you from your past and you're expected to cheer for a dare But you're loveless and the world don't care So you find you're a voice in the ranks of a funeral choir And your parasite friends from the past make a dash for the wire And your debt's long enough to be wrapped 'round an Anglican spire Mean you're so full of hope for the future, your libido's on fire, it isn't fair When you're loveless and the world don't care
