2c
It was a grey dawn, penciled in lightly
33
The morning screamed, neath the traffic’s feet
2b
The razor burned commuters reflections
23
It didn’t seem a visual treat.
5
27
The office staff begin the humdrum
29
Making the hours and the money flow.
28
The guilty lovers keep their secret
1e
And hope it doesn’t show.
5
26
Oh no office love is such a bitch
23
Oh no like a knife in the back
5
2a
He catches the train up every morning
26
From his croyden executive estate
29
He’s convinced he needs a new future
1f
But she’s prepared to wait
5
2e
He swears to step cleanly from a marriage
2a
That’s become so tangled and confused
2b
She knows he’s lying for his pleasures
1c
He doesn’t see her cry.
1c
He doesn’t see her die.
5
26
Oh no office love is such a bitch
23
Oh no like a knife in the back
5
2f
She goes home, knowing that it can’t go on
27
Her secret fears become too strong
31
Seeing what little love she has she’s losing
31
He’s the type that manages to sleep at night
24
The guilt is safely locked away
34
But it was just another day, and he’s so tired.
5
28
Her heart seemed set on destruction
22
With lips drawn pale and thin
29
She offered up love like a sacrifice
1b
And he was closing in.
5
29
Her mother sat on the end of the bed
28
Through the dark hours of the night
24
Wagging her finger saying honey
1b
This just isn’t right.
5
26
Oh no office love is such a bitch
23
Oh no like a knife in the back
