about

When your heart breaks, your wings are clipped.
And what about the kids?

lyrics

Its plain to see I'll fly no more
I'm disabled in a love at war
Your missile sweet has shot me down
I'm crawling now on firmer ground

God guide me sweet and guide me true
'Cause guiding is all I ever do
These awkward words are quite absurd
And all my rights have now gone wrong

A lovely mess you've made of my life

There are plastic toys in a big brick house
We can't share it so I'm thrown out
I'm doing all the best I can
But love for you is temporal

A lovely mess you've made for my girl

There's a boy with you and a boy upstairs
This boy is old who you've turned to air
A heavy heart and an empty bed
You were never here and nothing was ever said

A lovely mess you've made for your boy

I'm too undone to be upset
I'm choking on a Nicorette

A lovely mess you've made of my life.
