They woke to grey English morning  And to a strange honeymoon  The girl who gave him all her love  And the man who said it still wouldn't do  His parents always worked hard  Never went to bed late  nd though they were God's own people  They're still the ones he loves to hate  He never wanted to  Suffer this fate  All the girls have fallen for  The man they love to hate  The city is an animal  It snores and by day it roars  And though he loved to hate it  He couldn't live without it's flaws  With pastel curtains moaning  At a thousand harsh words - then hush  The girl she wanted to leave  Because she loved the man too much  He never wanted to  Suffer this fate  All the girls have fallen for  The man they love to hate  His father was a fighter  And he practised on his son  His mother was just some furniture  Who'd lost the will to run  The girl she wrote him a farewell note  And though he probably didn'y care too much  The girl she finally left him  Because she loved the man too much
