The Magic Piper Of Love Lyrics

The Magic Piper Of Love

Edwyn Collins---The Magic Piper (Of Love) 

 

 I'm through with love hangovers, 

 It's best that I stay sober. 

 No rolling in the clover, 

 No Gretna Green trip over. 

 No honeymoon in Paris, 

 I only feel embarrassed 

 For the cool cats, 

 The charmed 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 go blotto 

 Of cunnings and his grotto. 

 It turns out he's a dirty old man. 

 The nice place that I want to be, 

 Is sat up on this Christmas tree, 

 While playing these 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 kind of hard to swallow, 

 You know you've gotta follow, 

 The magic piper of love. 

 

 Cause he's a city slicker, 

 An expert politic-er: 

 The magic piper of love. 

 

 Of love, of love. 

 Of love, of love. 

 Of love, of love.
