Love Got Lost Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Here we go, Monday morning at last 

In the land of the brave and the bold 

Sunlight is hurting my eyes 

But it's on to the glittering prize 

There's a rent to pay 

Gimme a coffee to go, make it fast 

There'll be a merger before it gets cold 

They've closed down the whole seventh floor 

The young guns are ready for war 

But I'm holding on 

Long ago and far away 

I was safe and sound 

But love got lost 

Along the way 

Saturday night, went to see La Bohème 

Used the spare ticket just for my coat 

I guess I should swallow my pride 

But I'd be damned if I hawked it outside 

In the pouring rain 

Monday morning, and no-one to blame 

Keep hitting icebergs but I'm still afloat 

I'd like a new body and face 

But I'd settle for a friend with a space 

On their calendar 

Up to now, and hard to say 

Wonder what I've found 

But love got lost 

Along the way 

Here comes Mr. Worldly and Wise 

If he touches me again I'll scream 

I can't stand his sensitive eyes 

Like I'm some dying diva to him 

Touch me, don't touch me 

Touch me, don't touch me 

Long ago and far away 

I was safe and sound 

But love got lost 

Along the way
