Stay

Oh the English rain

Seems to follow me again

All the way from Sintra Portugal

It's where I met you just one year ago

Oh sweet memory (riding motorbikes down to the sea)

Didn't feel like reality even when it was happening

And I want everything to stay

The same as yesterday

I want everything to stay the same

I saw you board the Paris train

Your little halo hung sideways

You didn't know I was there to see you go

Standing in your furs and your arms around another fool

Oh tortured memory (Ceasar Paciotti's standing in the city square)

You smothered everything, just when it started happening

And I want everything to stay (I wanted to stay)

The same as yesterday

I want everything to stay the same (I want it to stay)

Love is a deadly potion

Stabs the heart and bleeds emotion

And now nothing is the same again

Oh the politics of love

Oh the politics of love and not feeling loved

I know you, you doubted me all along

Even when I told you that you were the one

And in the street I left a lonely rose

That no one knows, and no one knows, and no one knows

But me

I want everything to stay

The same as yesterday

Want everything to stay the same

Love is a deadly potion

Stabs the heart and bleeds emotion

Love is a chain reaction

We just thought it was attraction

And I never wanted to change (and now you forced me)

And I never wanted to change (and how you forced me)

And I know it for a fact
