If There Was Love Lyrics - Pet Shop Boys

Men of affairs, women with power 

Satellites talking, to clatter our lives 

Banks of predictions, policies made 

Prophecies broken, violence deranged (deranged, deranged) 

And if there was love, would that be enough? 

And if there was love, would that be enough? 

Pollsters and planners, incredibly sad 

indelibly inking, their names across our lives 

Individual freedom, intrinsically curbed 

Inspiration nil, slavery ten 

And if there was love, would that be enough? 

And if there was love, would that be enough? 

And if there was love, would that be enough? 

And if there was love, would that be enough? 

I've been working for a long time 

Scattering smiles 

Must I swallow my pride? 

There's a hole in the sky, as distant and vast 

As our moral vacuum, and growing as fast 

And if there was love, would that be enough? 

And if there was love, would that be enough? 

And if there was love, would that be enough? 

And if there was love, would that be enough? 

"They that have power to hurt and will do none, 

That do not do the thing they most do show, 

Who, moving others, are themselves as stone, 

Unmoved, cold and to temptation slow; 

They rightly do inherit heaven's graces 

And husband nature's riches from expense; 

They are the lords and owners of their faces, 

Others but stewards of their excellence. 

The summer's flower is to the summer sweet, 

Though to itself it only live and die, 

But if that flower with base infection meet, 

The basest weed outbraves his dignity: 

For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds; 

Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds." 

[W. Shakespeare, Sonnet 94]
