We Are Apart

We Are Apart

It was written in the papers,
That you lost your life.
It was hinted in your note,
That you didn't have one.
The final verdict was suicide,
Benefit suspended, sine die.

We are apart, we are apart.

Death by the State, it's happening,
Death by the State, write to the Queen.
Death by the State, it's happening,
Death by the State, write to the Queen.

We are apart, we are apart.

The romantic high ideal, it's crap.
We want money, looks, security,
A nice kitchen and a non-drip tap.

We are apart, we are apart.

I would have loved you if I knew who you were,
I would have loved you if I dug your style.
I would have loved you if I liked your look,
I would have loved you if your face fitted your suit.

We are apart.
