Edwyn Collins - The Magic Piper

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
