True romance
[Verse 1]
Any time you hear the door bells ring
Never turn your back on love; never never never let it in; swing
Like Art Tatum; should your lover die, shine your shoes
Watch out, keep your windows down, tomorrow it could be you
Get out of bed, get ahead, get a hat, read the rags, read the news
Stay in fashion, make some cash, you really got nothing left to lose
[Chorus]
True romance
Find a new romance
True romance
Another true romance
Give yourself another chance
Forgive your brothers and sisters
Find some time for tea and wine and Valentines
Forget about the big picture
True romance
[Verse 2]
Make time to get lucky and find favour with the freaks
Be a fabulous weekend wonder and a miracle worker in the week
True romance
You are a genius everyday but don't lose your common touch
Join a gang, learn rhyming slang, learn Greek, learn Double Dutch
Get a car, get a job, get a girl, pay your taxes, pay your bills
Pull yourself out the water, boy. God knows, no-one else will
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Join a Mercury cult, join a suicide pact, sport more, stop the war, make more folklore
I think my heart might be the new black, all the myths and legends are under attack
So I'll buy some lunar lamb, buy a ticket for a day trip to the moon
Keep one eyes on the boys of summer and drink in the afternoon
Get online, get in line, read between the lines, straighten up your facts
Stamp your post with penny blacks, 'Rule Britannia' ain't comin' back
[Chorus x2]
