Maybe that it would do me good    If I believed there were a god    Cut in the starry firmament    But as it is that’s just a lie    And I'm here eating up the boredom    On an island of cement    Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it    Open window and I'll steal it    Baby like it’s heaven sent       This ain’t no love that’s guiding me       Some days i'm bursting at the seams    with all my half remembered dreams    and then it shoots me down again    i feel the dampness as it creeps    I hear you coughing in your sleep    beneath a broken window pane    tomorrow girl i'll buy you chips    a lollipop to stain your lips    and it’ll all be right as rain       this ain’t no love that’s guiding me    this ain’t no love that’s guiding me       no it ain’t no love guiding me    no it ain’t no love guiding me    no it ain’t no love guiding me       this ain’t no love that’s guiding me    this ain’t no love that’s guiding me       on winter trees the fruit of rain    is hanging trembling in the branches    like a thousand diamond buds    and waiting there in every pause    that old familiar fear that claws you    tells you nothing ain’t no good    then pulling back you see it all    down here so laughable and small    hardly a quiver in the dirt       this ain’t no love that’s guiding me
