Stranglers The Man They Love To Hate
They woke to grey English morning And to a strange honeymoon The girl who gave him all her love And the man who said it still wouldn't do His parents always worked hard Never went to bed late nd though they were God's own people They're still the ones he loves to hate He never wanted to Suffer this fate All the girls have fallen for The man they love to hate The city is an animal It snores and by day it roars And though he loved to hate it He couldn't live without it's flaws With pastel curtains moaning At a thousand harsh words - then hush The girl she wanted to leave Because she loved the man too much He never wanted to Suffer this fate All the girls have fallen for The man they love to hate His father was a fighter And he practised on his son His mother was just some furniture Who'd lost the will to run The girl she wrote him a farewell note And though he probably didn'y care too much The girl she finally left him Because she loved the man too much
