lyrics

Underneath the rose-tinted glass
Shadows dance off into the dark
Armed with all that you perceive
You won't be prepared for what lies beneath

When I was little I wanted to see
What people meant by the birds and the bees
Things were much simpler when just holding hands
But that was not really part of boys plans

Oh dear, silly old me
What a fool I have been
What's all this nonsense of fairytale dreams
Oh how daft I have been

'Cause love does not care where it goes
Where it will land nobody knows
Whether you're little or whether you're old
Love does not what it's told

I tried and I tried but it was for no good
I could not feel what they said that I should
Then oh so suddenly like a hook to the chin
I found myself in a most wondrous spin

Spinning around and around and around
You best hold on tight or be flung to the ground
I met a boy unlike ever before
but my grip was too slippy and I was slung to the ground

Oh dear, silly old me
What a fool I have been
What's all this nonsense of fairytale dreams
Oh how daft I have been

'Cause love is not what I thought
Love does not what its ought
Not like a pet it has teeth and it bites
It has got fists and it's up for a fight

Like an old dog who just might have your hand
Be careful or you might get lost in quicksand
Drowning and drowning and drowning and drowning
'Cause I knew nothing
