Where Have All The Lovers Gone?

from Rust & Slumber by Makeshift Family Brewery

/

lyrics

Where have all the lovers gone?
They all got sick a while ago,
Buried in their burdened books
With broken backs and blunted sight.
 
But surely we know how to love?
All we know is cold and dead,
As placid as a drowning fish
As dulling as a latex glove.
 
Then what is all this fucking for?
To hide the holes where lovers lay,
To keep our minds on nothing else
But flesh and death and death and flesh.
 
So is it all a waste of time?
Yes, of course, you clever cunt,
For none can love in this wet world,
And who would want a love so damp?
 
But have you ever seen the thing?
I saw one once, a while ago,
(A lover in a seaside town)
Turned to me and asked:
‘Who here would want a love so bright?’
