No milk today, my love has gone away   The bottle stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn   No milk today, it seems a common sight   But people passing by don't know the reason why      How could they know just what this message means?   The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams   How could they know the palace there had been   Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?      No milk today, it wasn't always so   The company was gay, we'd turn night into day      But all that's left is a place dark and lonely   A terraced house in a mean street back of town   Becomes a shrine when I think of you only   Just two up two down      No milk today, it wasn't always so   The company was gay, we'd turn night into day   As music played the faster did we dance   We felt it both at once, the start of our romance      How could they know just what this message means   The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams   How could they know a palace there had been   Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?      No milk today, my love has gone away   The bottle stands for love, a symbol of the dawn      But all that's left is a place dark and lonely   A terraced house in a mean street back of town   Becomes a shrine when I think of you only   Just two up two down      No milk today, my love has gone away   The bottle stands for love, a symbol of the dawn   No milk today, it seems a common sight   But people passing by don't know the reason why      How could they know just what this message means   The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams   How could they know a palace there had been   Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?      No milk today, it wasn't always so   The company was gay, we'd turn night into day      But all that's left is a place dark and lonely   A terraced house in a mean street back of town   Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely   A terraced house in a mean street back of town   Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely   A terraced house in a mean street back of town
