Half in Love with Elizabeth

And he's half in love with Elizabeth

And he's half in love with you

Some things are too painful to say out loud

Well, they live behind a veil and see through a shroud

Words fly through his mouth

Like paper butterflies

Well they flutter around and put holes in your side

And he's half in love with Elizabeth

And he's half in love with you

I knew that you were thinking of him last night

'Cos I saw the blood seep down to your toes

Yes, hideaway if you must

But how can you put your trust

In a man who always sleeps in his clothes?

And he's half in love with Elizabeth

And he's half in love with you

Yes he's half in love with Elizabeth

And he's half in love with you

You're the sweet scent on an envelope

Or the photo in it's book

But if you pin your hopes to his back my dear

I'm afraid the bubble will burst

The bubble will burst

The bubble will burst

The bubble will burst

The bubble will burst

The bubble will burst

The bubble will burst

The bubble will burst

And he's half in love with Elizabeth

And he's half in love with you

And he's half in love with Elizabeth

And he's half in love with you

Yes he's half in love with Elizabeth

And he's half in love with you
