the magic piper (of love)

Singer: edwyn collins

i'm through with love hangovers

it's best that i stay sober

no rolling in the clover

no gretna green to dover

no honeymoon in paris

i only feel embarrassed

for the cool cats

the tom kittens

both smitten by the love songs

that he's written

caught in the sights

of a deadly sniper

the magic piper of love

the magic piper of love

of love

of love

my girlfriend

she got blotto

half cut in santa's grotto

it turns out he's a dirty old man

the last place that i want to be

is sat up on his christmas tree

while playing his games of

catch as catch can

'cause he's a sweet talker

a silent stalker

all the savvy of a street walker

more deadly than a horned viper

the magic piper of love

the magic piper of love

of love

of love

he's a heart breaker

a mover and a shaker

the magic piper of love

it's kinda hard to swallow

you know you've gotta follow

the magic piper of love

'cause he's a city slicker

an expert politicker

the magic piper of love

of love

of love

of love

of love

of love

of love
