  • Don't whisper love and dream of wedding bells
    Don't do all the talking, let love speak up itself
    Let love speak up itself

    So when you feel a little tatty and unhappy with your face
    Let it breathe into us and put you back in place
    Let it breathe, let it breathe
    From the day it came into us till the day it wants to leave
    For it will, it will go
    And it will not say goodbye just like it didn't say hello
    There will not be a send-off, a funeral or mass
    Just a pathetic little vodka from a dirty little glass
    to the world's greatest mum
    From the oldest swinger in town

    Let love speak up itself
    Let love speak up itself
    Let it rise up in the morning and take us for that walk
    Let it do the talking when were too tired to talk
    When were too tired to talk

    And when you feel unhappy that I'm not the one I was
    Let love rot inside and let love palm you off
    Let it rot, let it rot
    Let it take your feelings and tie them in a knot
    In a knot, in a knot
    Let it take your feelings and tie them in a knot
    Hang them from a cleaver and say look what we've got
    A man and a woman and guess what they forgot
    to the world's greatest mum
    From the oldest swinger in town
