Oh the English rain Seems to follow me again All the way from Sintra Portugal It's where I met you just one year ago Oh sweet memory (riding motorbikes down to the sea) Didn't feel like reality even when it was happening And I want everything to stay The same as yesterday I want everything to stay the same I saw you board the Paris train Your little halo hung sideways You didn't know I was there to see you go Standing in your furs and your arms around another fool Oh tortured memory ( Ceasar Paciotti's standing in the city square) You smothered everything, just when it started happening And I want everything to stay ( I wanted to stay) The same as yesterday I want everything to stay the same ( I want it to stay) Love is a deadly potion Stabs the heart and bleeds emotion And now nothing is the same again Oh the politics of love Oh the politics of love and not feeling loved I know you, you doubted me all along Even when I told you that you were the one And in the street I left a lonely rose That no one knows, and no one knows, and no one knows But me I want everything to stay The same as yesterday Want everything to stay the same Love is a deadly potion Stabs the heart and bleeds emotion Love is a chain reaction We just thought it was attraction And I never wanted to change ( and now you forced me) And I never wanted to change ( and how you forced me) And I know it for a fact
