No More Lonely Nights - The Heads

Two love stories

She installed a video camera over her bed in the bedroom

No more lonely nights.

In a film she once saw, a girl was

F**ked by a dog.

So she went to the pet store — but felt

Stupid — and came home with a goldfish in a plastic bag

The fish’s name is 'SuperMan'.

He would circle the bowl

World in five minutes

No more lonely nights

No more lonely nights

No more lonely nights

No more lonely nights

This is two love stories

She goes to bed with a lipstick and a box of chocolate

She read in a book once that chocolate was good both

In you and on you for sexual pleasure.

SuperMan

Watches glossy-eyed, camera staring mute, blinking

Encouragingly down at the big bed where she has fallen

Asleep, fingers smeared with 'Kissing Red' and melted

Chocolate — SuperMan and the remote control still in a

Cramped grip

No more lonely nights

No more lonely nights

No more lonely nights

No more lonely nights

Two love stories

For your birthday I’ll give you scissors — shining, silver

Sharp!

— to cut me open and step right in. You know I am

Hot enough to keep you warm when winter comes.

Oh, it

Would suit you good, it would do you good.

You can do

It, you’ve done it before!

Take my milky white and make

Yourself a coat.

Cut me open and step right in. I’m sick of

Being without you.

Believe me, the pain means nothing

No more lonely nights

No more lonely nights

No more lonely nights

No more lonely nights

Two love stories

Infected by your tongue when kissing, the I.V.

love shock

That took me for a ride never ending.

I guess I should have

Known that needle’d been around.

The disease of loving

You spread fast through the blood.

I lost everything I had

For you.

I lost everything I was for you.

I used to have a

Language.

I used to have a name.

I used to have a name

No more lonely nights… Now I have yours

No more lonely nights… Snakebite

No more lonely nights… Stabbing

No more lonely nights… Sex

I wanted to tell two love stories

One would be the story

The other

Would be the story

About love
