Postcard Love Lyrics - Listen Now - Phil Manzanera

The message reads 

"Well, hi there pal 

How have you been? 

Its such a long, long time" 

Signed "with love" 

A blue ink kiss 

Is there above 

"I hope you're feeling fine" 

Postcard scenes 

Of sun and sand and smart hotels 

Where palm trees grow 

Stretch out and warm this tired old town 

Across a thousand miles 

Her love brings smiles 

You read her words once more 

Before you let the lights go down 

Panoramic views and side street scenes 

Fancy clubs, the current tourist themes 

For twenty cents, no more, the mail man brings 

Postcard love 

Friends come and go so quickly 

You wish she'd stayed 

Singing songs for love is oh so very fine 

You played your hand and laid it on the line 

You bared your heart 

She trumped it every time 

Panoramic views and side street scenes 

Fancy clubs and slick, black limousines 

Not knowing what he does, the mail man brings 

Postcard love 

And her message reads 

"Well, hi there pal 

How have you been? 

Its such a long, long time" 

And though its signed "with love" 

You know it's just a friendly touch 

I bet she hopes your feeling fine 

For postcard love 

Is all you'll ever get from her 

It's not her fault she hurt you bad 

And it will never mend 

'Cos the "love" she sent and signed 

Was never meant to find 

The heart of one, and yes you know 

She thought was just a friend
