[Verse 1]
There was a girl who lived in London town
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
She had polka dots and moonbeams in her dreams
And French fantasies on cinema screens
[Chorus]
And she knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?
[Verse 2]
There was a boy who lived inside his head
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised
[Chorus]
And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?
[Bridge]
Oh, behold his golden wings!
And behold his bronze bow!
And you hear his silver arrow sing!
As his gilded feathers glow
[Verse 3]
There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
But they both were in love with the stars and sky above
And Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last
[Chorus]
And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart?
[Outro]
