Love Like Anthrax Lyrics - Gang Of Four

Woke up this morning desperation a.m. 

What I've been saying won't say them again 

My head's not empty, it's full with my brain 

The thoughts I'm thinking 

Like piss down a drain 

And I feel like a beetle on its back 

And there's no way for me to get up 

Love'll get you like a case of anthrax 

And that's something I don't want to catch 

Ought to control what I do to my mind 

Nothing in there but sunshades for the blind 

Only yesterday I said to myself 

The things I'm doing are not good 

For my health 

"Love crops up quite a lot as something to sing about, 

cos most groups make most of their songs about falling in love 

or how happy they are to be in love, 

you occasionally wonder why these groups do sing about it all the time - 

it's because these groups think there's something very special about it 

either that or else it's because everybody else sings about it and always has, 

you know to burst into song you have to be inspired 

and nothing inspires quite like love. 

These groups and singers think that they appeal to everyone 

by singing about love because apparently everyone has or can love 

or so they would have you believe anyway 

but these groups seem to go along with what, the belief 

that love is deep in everyone's personality. 

I don't think we're saying there's anything wrong with love, 

we just don't think that what goes on between two people 

should be shrouded with mystery." 

Love'll get you like a case of anthrax 

And that's something I don't want to catch 

Love'll get you like a case of anthrax 

And that's something I don't want to catch
