cause they sold out love...

-->

They traded money hoping it would last,

A colourful wedding everyone gasped

They sold out love to the highest bidder

who needs pictures i need a new liver

Fine wines and expensive meals

Stuff to talk about to friends everafter

Like george best talking shop

It’s a only time before they drop

Love is pleasure but not pleasure itself

A gift from a friend is not a consequence

the way things happen like when u pray

Someday he delivers and you say hey

Hair make up mortgage too

Ring on finger friends on view

Prospects good envy becomes you

God looks on wondering what to do

They took those vows in my name

I look down what a shame

Promises made that will never keep

I spend all my time rounding up sheep

They sold love in all the wrong places

Like perfume on prostituted faces

They sold out love like it was a machine

traded like gold without a sheen

They sold out god for the sake of a few bob

Now they can’t ignore the signs from above

Worried confused all thinking gone weird

What’s going on we’re all blind

 
sell out love and you’ll have none at all

you sow you reap what’s gone is gone

They sold out love he sent his son along

Hoping to see what was going on

hung from a cross on the outskirts of town

Naked and bleeding they watched him drown

All their faces skewed and entertained

Till a few came along at the end of the day

They sold out love and it wont be long

Cause the day is coming with no warning

when it ends only hearts will remain

they were the ones who listened each day

loves calling and you need to care

don’t pass the champagne over there.

Cause they sold out love…
