Lovesong

It started slow like a rolling stone
The signal for the riot had come
Suddenly all hell broke lose
No time to hide, no time to choose
Water cannon run for your lives
Teargas stings your eyes
Shops with their windows in smithereens
Burned out cars and burned out dreams
And all we're told is lock your door
Just turn a blind eye like you did before

While on the radio
Love songs they're still singing
And from the TV-Show
Another love song keeps on ringing, ay!

Another city, another town
It's the same old story all around
Again you're told just lock your door
To turn a blind eye like you did before

And on the radio
Love songs they're still singing
And from the TV-Show
Another lovesong keeps on ringing
While on the radio (radio)
Lovesongs they're singing
And on the TV-Show (TV-Show)
Another game-show host is grinning

The sun is shining on a brand new day
Your wife comes in with the breakfast-tray
The coffee tastes good as you read the news
Police say they did what they had to do

And on the radio (radio)
Love songs they're still singing
And from the TV-Show
Another lovesong keeps on ringing
While on the radio (radio)
Love songs they're singing
And on the TV-Show (TV-Show)
Another game-show host is grinning
Yes from the radio (radio)
Love songs they're singing
And on the TV-Show
It's our song they're playing
