Office Love Lyrics - Pretty Things

It was a grey dawn, penciled in lightly 

The morning screamed, neath the traffic's feet 

The razor burned commuters reflections 

It didn't seem a visual treat. 

The office staff begin the humdrum 

Making the hours and the money flow. 

The guilty lovers keep their secret 

And hope it doesn't show. 

Oh no office love is such a bitch 

Oh no like a knife in the back 

He catches the train up every morning 

From his croyden executive estate 

He's convinced he needs a new future 

But she's prepared to wait 

He swears to step cleanly from a marriage 

That's become so tangled and confused 

She knows he's lying for his pleasures 

He doesn't see her cry. 

He doesn't see her die. 

Oh no office love is such a bitch 

Oh no like a knife in the back 

She goes home, knowing that it can't go on 

Her secret fears become too strong 

Seeing what little love she has she's losing 

He's the type that manages to sleep at night 

The guilt is safely locked away 

But it was just another day, and he's so tired. 

Her heart seemed set on destruction 

With lips drawn pale and thin 

She offered up love like a sacrifice 

And he was closing in. 

Her mother sat on the end of the bed 

Through the dark hours of the night 

Wagging her finger saying honey 

This just isn't right. 

Oh no office love is such a bitch 

Oh no like a knife in the back
