Joe Jackson - Love Got Lost lyrics

Here we go, Monday morning at last

In the land of the brave and the bold

Sunlight is hurting my eyes

But it's on to the glittering prize

There's a rent to pay

Gimme a coffee to go, make it fast

There'll be a merger before it gets cold

They've closed down the whole seventh floor

The young guns are ready for war

But I'm holding on

Long ago and far away

I was safe and sound

But love got lost

Along the way

Saturday night, went to see La Bohème

Used the spare ticket just for my coat

I guess I should swallow my pride

But I'd be damned if I hawked it outside

In the pouring rain

Monday morning, and no-one to blame

Keep hitting icebergs but I'm still afloat

I'd like a new body and face

But I'd settle for a friend with a space

On their calendar

Up to now, and hard to say

Wonder what I've found

But love got lost

Along the way

Here comes Mr. Worldly and Wise

If he touches me again I'll scream

I can't stand his sensitive eyes

Like I'm some dying diva to him

Touch me...don't touch me

Touch me...don't touch me

Long ago and far away

I was safe and sound

But love got lost

Along the way
