When Romance Is Dead Lyrics - Beautiful South

You'll know when romance is dead 

Your make up in a toolbox somewhere in the shed 

His face is unshaven, the grass overgrown 

From the shed to the bed is a web you call home 

You'll know when romance is dead 

That deathly cold blast from his side of the bed 

Your dreams frozen over, your nightmares on ice 

From the bedroom to the bathroom you say 

everything twice (everything twice) 

And you'll know when romance is dead 

You'll burst into tears at each record that's played 

He sits in the sun, you sulk in the shade 

You'll know when love starts to fade

You'll know when romance is dead 

From the brambles and thorns growing out of your head 

Whenever you touch her she tuts or she sighs 

One kiss goodnight and she's rolling her eyes 

And you'll know when love starts to fade 

That balancing act is no longer made 

Like penny stacked high in amusement arcade 

It's not what you're worth it's the way that you're laid 

Yes you'll know when love starts to fade 

Like you knew when romance was alive 

Each couple you passed they'd smile and high five 

Like you'll know when love's back on track 

Uncontrollable laugh at each joke that you crack 

Giggle and cackle and throw her head back 

Her mouth is still smiling, her veins turning black 

Her head is elastic but her neck is all slack 

Photos 

You'll know when love's on the rocks 

You wearing headphones, him vest and socks 

You'll know when love's on the slide 

Whenever you're talking, the kids go outside 

You'll know when romance is dead 

When the look that you get is as hard as the bread 

You open your mouth but your stories are stale 

From front door to back door it's blowing a gale 

You'll know when love starts to fade
