Several replies have arrived, or perhaps I should say, had arrived, suggesting
lyrics for Past Perfect embedded .
However, I don't want stuff like, "If I had told him I loved him, he'd still be
here" which is sung beautifully on my Mr Monday CD, yours for 20 Shekel.
That's IF 3, which I'll need next week.
The only feasible line I got was in Herman's Hermits: " How could they know
the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen"
But that's a pretty awkward sentence, and it should say, 'where my love had
reigned as queen.'
I know there's one in a queen song, but it's in my files from 10 years ago and
go look.
PS You try teaching a song with the line, "The company was gay." (No wonder
there's no milk!)
PS: Herman's Hermits wrote End of the World? Magneeve!
NO MILK TODAY
(Graham Gouldman)
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
