I am the son and the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth How dare you say I go about things the wrong way I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does
I am the son and the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth How dare you say I go about things the wrong way I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does
There's a club if you'd like to go you Could meet somebody who really loves you So you go, and you stand on your own and You leave on your own and you go home, And you cry and you want to die.
When you say it's gonna happen "now", When exactly do you mean? see I've already Waited too long and all my hope is gone
You shut your mouth How dare you say I go about things the wrong way I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does
Touch the magic...

I've always thought of you as my brick wall Built like an angel, six feet tall Six feet tall And when you go away, I start to weep You're too expensive girl to keep Isn't it sweet?
I don't know where to begin, living in sin How can we talk? Look where you've been I've counted the nights of living in sin How can we talk? Look where we've been
Take my independent point of view I've loosened my wallet, thanks to you Don't do me any favors Hark, the herald angels sting Please repair my broken wing Why won't you look at me? I live and breathe
(We can make it all the time, to live or die)
Blame it on appearance It might seem A shame that we're Not you or me
Touch the magic...

One rule for us, for you another Do unto yourself as you see fit for your brother Is that not within your realm of understanding? A fifty second capacity of mind, too demanding? Well then poor unfortunate you There are a myriad of things that you can do Like pick up a pen and paper or go talk to a friend The history of the future No violence or revenge
Your shame is never...ending Just one psychological drama after another You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life God only knows, the infinite complexities of love
We all have the ability Our freedom is fragile We all laugh and we cry don't we? We all bleed and we smile
Your shame is never...ending Just one psychological drama after another You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life God only knows, you're not to sacrifice the art of love
Your shame is never...ending Just one psychological drama after another You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life God only knows, the infinite complexities of love
Your shame is never...ending Just one psychological drama after another We are guilty and how you ever entered into this life The Lord only knows, the ultimate necessity of love

Got no flowers for your guns No hippychick Won't make love to change your mind No hippychick
No hippychick No hip hip hip hip hip hip...!

It was. It was less cool that they had to be pushed into shelling out the royalty money, though.

I guess they knew in advance they were destined for 1-Hit Wonderland and were trying to stockpile funds...

Soho's guitarist tried to pass it off at one point by pointing out that Johnny Marr samples himself. As if that somehow made a difference.

I liked Love Spit Love, and I loved the singer's first and current band The Psychedelic Furs, but his voice was all wrong for that song.
