I once had a friend who I loved from my heart 
 But I went on and left her 'fore I'd made a start 
 Now I'm moaning the blues like the rest of the charts 
 Take me back 

 So I'll cry with a limp 
 Just get by on a limb 
 Till these blue eyes of mine they are closed 
 So here's to an old fashioned peck on the cheek 
 And farewell my sweet Northern Rose 

 Give me one last love song 
 To bring you back, bring you back 
 Give me one last video, just dressed in black, dressed in black 
 Give him a chorus and that bit at the end 
 Where he wails on and on 'bout the loss of a friend 
 Let him scream loudly 'well this love could mend' 
 Let it die, let it die 

 Those bloody great ballads we hated at first 
 Well I bought them all, now I'm writing worse 
 Save us from baldness and saving the earth 
 Take me back 

 And I'll smile with a limp 
 And I'll love with a limp 
 Till the clouds disappear from above 
 And as the storm moves away all I can say 
 Is there's a towel on the door for your love 

 Give me one last love song 
 To bring you back, bring you back 
 Give me one last video, just dressed in black, dressed in black 
 Give him a chorus and that bit at the end 
 Where he wails on and on 'bout the loss of a friend 
 Let him scream loudly 'well this love could mend' 
 Let it die, let it die, let it die
