Standard (EADGBE)

Don't whisper love and dream of wedding bells

 Don't do all the talking, let love speak up itself

 Let love speak up itself

So when you feel a little tatty and unhappy with your face

 Let it breathe into us and put you back in place

 Let it breathe, let it breathe

 From the day it came into us 'till the day it wants to leave

 For it will, it will go

 And it will not say good-bye just like it didn't say hello

 There will not be a send-off, a funeral or mass

 Just a pathetic little vodka from a dirty little glass

"To the world's greatest mum

From the oldest swinger in town"

 Let love speak up itself

 Let love speak up itself

 Let it rise up in the morning and take us for a walk

Let it do the talking when we're to tired to talk

 When we're too tired to talk

 And when you feel unhappy that I'm not the one I was

 Let love rot inside and let love palm you off

 Let it rot, let it rot

 Let it take your feelings and tie them in a knot

 In a knot, in a knot

 Let it take your feelings and tie them in a knot

 Hang them from a cleaver and say "Look what we've got

 A man and a woman and guess what they forgot"

"To the world's greatest mum

From the oldest swinger in town"

 Let love speak up itself.
