(kirsty maccoll/jem finer)      I couldn't hear him when he called to me   I couldn't hear him at all you see   He was down the road away from me   How could I know his answer?    I couldn't hear him 'though he shouted hard   I couldn't hear him in my own backyard   The trains were rattling by above   He never mentioned love      He may have held my hand   When we were walking down the street   He talked about all kinds of things   But none of them were him and me   He looked into my eyes   Just as an airplane roared above   Said something about football   But he never mentioned love      I never heard him all the times he yelled   I never heard him if he tried to tell me   If my memory serves me well   He never mentioned love   I never hurt him 'though he says I did   I never hurt him but I die a bit   Each time he passes on the street   He never mentions love      I used to call him every night   And pray that he was home   I couldn't bear the feeling   I might have to live my life alone   But now my phone is off the hook   The word came from above   It told me I was wasting time   If he never mentioned love      I never heard him if he said he cared   I never heard him, I kept my claws bared   I never heard the things he says he said   He never mentioned he was scared   I never heard him when he asked of love   I never heard him as the skies above   Chucked buckets on the both of us   He never mentioned love      So if I seem hardhearted   I would like the court to note   He never mentioned love to me   In anything he wrote   And if I seem coldblooded   I should like to tell the judge   In all the time I knew this man   He never spoke of love   (or if he did)      I never heard him when he called to me   I never heard him at all you see   He was down the line away from me   He never mentioned l.u.v.   I never hurt him 'though he says I did   I never hurt him I just die a bit   Each time we meet upon the street   We never mention love
