Third Rail by Squeeze (from the CD "Some Fantastic Place")
(riff - you're on your own here)
As much as I love you
As much as I care
I just can't pretend that the problem's not there
We know the boundaries
Our life has been happy without any pain
But now I feel sorrow
as friendship turns stale
Our love's still on track but,
without a third rail
2nd Verse: The moon has come up now The sun has gone down A million or more times since you've been around Our life still goes on but it won't be the same As when we're together, love only knows pain With words that are tender Our love will prevail But can our love go on, without a third rail
3rd Verse: There's a lump in my throat I'm choked as I say Our love has reached twilight, let's call it a day We kiss on the platform The doors slowly close Like theatre curtains pulled after the show We both know it's over And somehow we've failed Love's going in circles without a third rail
