The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You're looking for me in the demonstration

Well I have already lost patience

And you might find me sitting by the pavement

Or maybe not, 'cause I have shrunk

I fell in love with a punk and she took my breath

Now there's nothing left

Of blood enough to feed a family

Well I just wanna feed Emily

With lukewarm english beer and vegan pancakes

I saw her in the anti war demonstration

It was a sweet sensation of love

Ah

Love

When I was sixteen I hang out with the kids who liked it

The kind of punks that were born in leather jackets

The kind of punks who placed themselves in brackets

And she was one of them, back then she was somebody's girlfriend

And I was noone, I had nothing

And the skies, were clear blue skies

And her eyes, were clear blue eyes

And her thighs, were about the same size as mine

And we were walking in the anti war demonstration

It was a sweet sensation of love, of love

It was a sweet sensation of love
