Pop Song

behind the iron gates

the shifts were worked in silence

each weekend beckoned like Ulysses'Sirens

as the words were few,we'd listen to the radio

it was loud and irritated me so

i'll tell u i love u

i'll tell u i love u

like my favourite pop song

these promises won't keep

though every road begins and ends with u

the fall still hurts ,the bruise still blue

i 'll paint u pictures of bright tomorrows

but the money goes and the time goes too

i'll tell i love u

i'll tell i love u

like my favourite pop song

i'll tell i love u

like the stars above u

like my favourite pop song

favourite pop song

wild, unwise ,trivialized ,untrue

squander these gifts

like another sunday supplement

they're just so much cash

in the hands of the government

i'll tell i love u

i'll tell i love u

like my favourite pop song

favourite pop song
