Lyrics
Office Love
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.
It was a grey dawn, penciled in lightly
The morning screamed, neath the traffics feet
The razor burned commuters reflections
It didnt seem a visual treat.
The office staff begin the humdrum
Making the hours and the money flow.
The guilty lovers keep their secret
And hope it doesnt show.
Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back
He catches the train up every morning
From his croyden executive estate
Hes convinced he needs a new future
But shes prepared to wait
He swears to step cleanly from a marriage
Thats become so tangled and confused
She knows hes lying for his pleasures
He doesnt see her cry.
He doesnt see her die.
Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back
She goes home, knowing that it cant go on
Her secret fears become too strong
Seeing what little love she has shes losing
Hes the type that manages to sleep at night
The guilt is safely locked away
But it was just another day, and hes so tired.
Her heart seemed set on destruction
With lips drawn pale and thin
She offered up love like a sacrifice
And he was closing in.
Her mother sat on the end of the bed
Through the dark hours of the night
Wagging her finger saying honey
This just isnt right.
Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back
