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
