Mark Seymour - Love is a Heavy Load lyrics

She smokes in the kitchen She strangles the wine The neighbours come over She smokes in the kitchen She strangles the wine The neighbours come over She loves a good time Everyone's happy now So I fall into line And love Love is a heavy load Into a pillow She quietly weeps She's up before sunrise She never sleeps She puts her shoes on And runs through the streets And love Love is a heavy load She's a bad girl But she's got a heart of gold Sometimes I wish She'd come in from the cold She's a sad girl She crashes and burns She never learns She never learns Furs and diamonds Perfumeries Gold on her neck and arms She loves pretty things She's always surrounded by What my money brings And love Love is a heavy load She's a bad girl But she's got a heart of gold She's got a story That will never be told She's a sad girl She crashes and burns She never learns She never learns The sun is rising We lie in the dark I hear her breathing It's breaking my heart So why don't you take me Back to the start And love Love is a heavy load
