The Man They Love To Hate Lyrics - Singles - Stranglers

They woke to grey English morning 

And to a strange honeymoon 

The girl who gave him all her love 

And the man who said it still wouldn't do 

His parents always worked hard 

Never went to bed late 

nd though they were God's own people 

They're still the ones he loves to hate 

He never wanted to 

Suffer this fate 

All the girls have fallen for 

The man they love to hate 

The city is an animal 

It snores and by day it roars 

And though he loved to hate it 

He couldn't live without it's flaws 

With pastel curtains moaning 

At a thousand harsh words - then hush 

The girl she wanted to leave 

Because she loved the man too much 

He never wanted to 

Suffer this fate 

All the girls have fallen for 

The man they love to hate 

His father was a fighter 

And he practised on his son 

His mother was just some furniture 

Who'd lost the will to run 

The girl she wrote him a farewell note 

And though he probably didn'y care too much 

The girl she finally left him 

Because she loved the man too much
