Lyric Office Love

It was a grey dawn, penciled in lightly
The morning screamed, neath the traffic s feet
The razor burned commuters reflections
It didn t seem a visual treat.

The office staff begin the humdrum
Making the hours and the money flow.
The guilty lovers keep their secret
And hope it doesn t show.

Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back

He catches the train up every morning
From his Croyden executive estate
He s convinced he needs a new future
But she s prepared to wait

He swears to step cleanly from a marriage
That s become so tangled and confused
She knows he s lying for his pleasures
He doesn t see her cry.
He doesn t see her die.

Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back

She goes home, knowing that it can t go on
Her secret fears become too strong
Seeing what little love she has she s losing
He s the type that manages to sleep at night
The guilt is safely locked away
But it was just another day, and he s so tired.

Her heart seemed set on destruction
With lips drawn pale and thin
She offered up love like a sacrifice
And he was closing in.

Her mother sat on the end of the bed
Through the dark hours of the night
Wagging her finger saying honey
This just isn t right.

Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back
