Richard Lyrics - Billy Bragg

Richard belongs to Jayne 

And Jayne belongs to yesterday 

How can I go on 

When every alpha particle hides a neon nucleus 

Neil belongs to love 

And love belongs to no man 

How can he go on 

When no-one answers the adverts in his mind? 

[Chorus] 

There will be parties, there will be fun 

There will be prizes for everyone 

And hey, hey, hey, here comes Richard 

There will be ladies dressed in lace 

I just want to see her face 

When hey, hey, hey, here comes Richard 

You helped me build this bed 

But you won't help me sleep in it 

When I fall between you and the wall 

Our titanic love affair sails on the morning tide 

[Chorus] 

I really love you style 

Did you read it in the Look and Learn? 

How long can we go on? 

Do you think I only love you 

Because you sleep with other boys 

[Chorus]
