Love Is a Catastrophe

Love is a catastrophe Look what it's done to me Brought me down here so low Stranded, nowhere to go No concentration Just rerunning conversation Trying to understand How I fell into this quicksand What happens next? With life I'm unimpressed Pain like a cutter's knife Never been lonelier in my life Who issued the instruction For this mad act of destruction? An end to equilibrium Fate laughs: Look what we've done to him! High wind through the trees Falling November leaves A weak sun hanging low Summer seems so long ago All my former dreams Tender romantic schemes Revealed as so naive To think I could believe In love as the kindest law Not as a declaration of war On my life and sanity Now I know at last for me Love is a catastrophe --- Love Is a Catastrophe - Pet Shop Boys
