   I turned on a T.V. station and
  Lip-read with the sound turned down
  It was Pro-Celeb mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
  With Esther Rantzen
  Playing the one who's drowned
  
  In a room next door a couple is fighting
  But isn't that just one of love's charms
  When moods change as fast as lightning
  And fifteen minutes later you're
  Lying in each other's arms
  
  And you're gone
  
  They say that it's better to have loved and lost
  Than never to have loved at all
  But if you sit down and count the cost of
  All those losses
  There's no profit at all
  
  This city gets crazy at Christmas
  Glitter guards the crucifix all over the place
  Its head gets too big for its body
  And its mouth gets
  Too big for its face
  
  And you're gone
  
  Never throw away an old newspaper
  Everyday's rich with its current accounts
  Prince visits Philippines and parliament debates it
  Back page, column five
  Somebody's wedding's announced
  
  Sunday night's the night for loving
  And squeezing out the weekend's last drops
  Sunday night's the night for forgiving
  maybe that's why
  They shut the shops
  
  And you're gone
  
  One day you wake up
  And all the pain you've given out gets returned
  But I'm not sorry now
  I've payed for what I've learned
  
  And you're gone
  
  I turned on a T.V. station and
  Lip-read with the sound turned down
  It was the Church of Christ playing the Price Is Right
  Where everybody starves
  While Leslie Crowther counts.
