[Verse 1]
AmNo milk today, my Clove has gone away.
The Ebottle stands forAmlorn, a Esymbol of the Amdawn.
No milk today, it Cseems a common sight,
But Epeople passing Amby don't Eknow the reason Amwhy.
AHow could they know just Gwhat this message means,
The Dend of my hopes, the end of Eall my dAreams,
How could they know, a Gpalace there had been,
DBehind the door where my love Ereigned as Aqueen.
AmNo milk today, it Cwasn't always so,
The Ecompany was Amgay, we Eturn'd night into Amday.
[Chorus]
  ABut all that's Eleft is a F#mplace dark and Elonely
  AA terraced Ehouse in a Dmean street back of town
  ABecomes a Eshrine when I F#mthink of you Eonly
DJust two up two Edown.
[Verse 2]
AmNo milk today, it Cwasn't always so,
The Ecompany was Amgay, we tEurn'd night into dAmay.
As music played the fCaster did we dance
We fEelt it both at oAmnce, the sEtart of our rAmomance.
AHow could they know just Gwhat this message means,
The Dend of my hopes, the end of Eall my dAreams,
How could they know, a Gpalace there had been,
DBehind the door where my love Ereigned as Aqueen.
AmNo milk today, my Clove has gone away.
The Ebottle stands forAmlorn, a Esymbol of the Amdawn.
[Chorus]
  ABut all that's Eleft is a F#mplace dark and Elonely
  AA terraced Ehouse in a Dmean street back of town
  ABecomes a Eshrine when I F#mthink of you Eonly

No milk today, it wasn't always so,

E Am E Am

The company was gay, we turn'd night into day.

[Chorus]

A E F#m E

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely

A terraced house in a mean street back of town

Just two up two down.
