  • Oh, it seemed forever stopped today
    All the lonely hearts in London
    Caught a plane and flew away
    And all the best women are married
    All the handsome men are gay
    You feel deprived

    Yeah, are you questioning your size?
    Is there a tumor in your humor?
    Are there bags under your eyes?
    Do you leave dents where you sit?
    Are you getting on a bit?
    Will you survive?
    You must survive

    When there's no love in town
    This new century keeps bringing you down
    All the places you have been
    Trying to find a love supreme
    A love supreme

    Oh, what are you really looking for?
    Another partner in your life
    To abuse and to adore?
    Is it lovey dovey stuff
    Or do you need a bit of rough?
    Get on your knees

    Yeah, turn down the love songs that you hear
    'Cause you can't avoid the sentiment
    That echoes in your ear
    Saying love will stop the pain
    Saying love will kill the fear
    Do you believe?
    You must believe

    When there's no love in town
    This new century keeps bringing you down
    All the places you have been
    Trying to find a love supreme
    A love supreme

    I spy with my little eye
    Something beginning with (ah)
    Got my back up
    And now she's screaming
    So I've got to turn the track up
    Sit back and watch the royalties stack up
    I know this girl, she likes to switch teams
    And I'm a fiend but I'm living for a love supreme

    When there's no love in town
    This new century keeps bringing you down
    All the places you have been
    Trying to find a love supreme
    A love supreme

    Come and live a love supreme
    Don't let 'em get you down
    Everybody lives for love

    Come and live a love supreme
    Don't let 'em get you down
    Everybody lives for love

    Come and live a love supreme
    Don't let 'em get you down
    Everybody lives for love

    Come and live a love supreme
    Don't let 'em get you down
    Everybody lives for love

    Come and live a love supreme
    Don't let 'em get you down
    Everybody lives for love

    Come and live a love supreme
    Don't let 'em get you down Writer/s: Dino Fekaris, Francois De Roubaix, Francois Paul Leon De Roubaix, Frederick J Perren, Frederick Perren, Guy Anthony Chambers, Guy Chambers, Jean Toussain, Robert Peter Williams, Robert Williams
