 
oh the English rain 
seems to follow me again 
all the way from Sintra Portugal 
it's where i met you just one year ago 
oh sweet memory (riding motorbikes down to the sea) 
didn't feel like reality even when it was happening 
and i want everything to stay 
the same as yesterday 
i want everything to stay the same 
i saw you board the Paris train 
your little halo hung sideways 
you didn't know i was there to see you go 
standing in your furs and your arms around another fool 
oh tortured memory ( Ceasar Paciotti's standing in the city square) 
you smothered everything, just when it started happening 
and i want everything to stay ( i wanted to stay) 
the same as yesterday 
i want everything to stay the same ( i want it to stay) 
love is a deadly potion 
stabs the heart and bleeds emotion 
and now nothing is the same again 
oh the politics of love 
oh the politics of love and not feeling loved 
i know you, you doubted me all along 
even when i told you that you were the one 
and in the street i left a lonely rose 
that no one knows, and no one knows, and no one knows 
but me 
i want everything to stay 
the same as yesterday 
want everything to stay the same 
love is a deady potion 
stabs the heart and bleeds emotion 
love is a chain reaction 
we just thought it was attraction 
and i never wanted to change ( and now you forced me) 
and i never wanted to change ( and how you forced me) 
and i know it for a fact.
