Half Man Half Biscuit - Trumpton Riots lyrics

Here I am now, somewhere on the highway

I just checked into some low-rent room

I call my service back in San Francisco

Tell my landlord, I'll be home by June

But what about me, boy, back in California

What about the blue-eyed girl you call a child

You held me for ransom, like some beautiful bandit

Going down for the third time, drowning in your life

Chorus:

Love rusts when it rains on romance

Thunder rolls in on a clear blue day

We used to shine like the eye of a diamond

But something happened, the weather changed

I should have known better, you read just like a road map

Staying in one place doesn't interest you at all

Maybe I don't move as fast as I used to

But youth is something we can't hold on too long

Love rusts when it rains on romance

Hailstones heavy on this empty heart

It crowds the window where I used to watch you

Down by the shoreline in the dark

Love rusts when it rains on romance

Thunder rolls in on a clear blue day

We used to shine like the eye of a diamond

But something happened, the weather changed

Something happened and the weather changed

Something happened, then the weather changed

Ooh, I tell you we used to shine (how love rusts)

(We used to shine, how love rusts)

We used to shine

Ooh, we used to shine, you know

(We used to shine, how love rusts, we used to shine, how love rusts)

(We used to shine, how love rusts, we used to shine, how love rusts)
