  CI said "I don't believe iFn marriage

I packed my bags and left my Fpolitics in bed
And I Cwaited on the platform
With your Amsmile stuck in my Fhead
[Chorus]
So we Cwent through the rain to the place where we found our Dmhearts
They were Emburied under shit and old Fdebris
And I Cswear that I had something
And I Dknow you felt it too
But that Fcommute at Quintinshill defeated Cme
