This Love Is Mine

Liner Notes

I've not done proper vocal takes on this. It is one of the ten or so that needed words, and I took advantage of a train journey today to get them finished, but I only had time for a quick take of the lead vocals, ah well.

I quite like the tune.

Lyrics

There's love for the taking
There's plenty I'm sure
Just reach out and grab it
Just put out a call
There's love in a shoeshine
There's love in the bread
For all the good people
For living and dead

But she's calling me up
On the tele-ma-phone
And she's telling me things
that I don't wanna know
And I know its too late
I can tell that you're there
And the thought of you there
Ain't great
Boop ba doop boe boe

This love is mine
It's not yours
Read the sign
on the doors
This one just aint for lending

There's love in her driveway
And love in her hall
There's love all around her
It hangs like a pall
I think she seems distant
I know she's on guard
Defy gravitation
By laughing too hard

So when she steps out
Then I go through her things
But the things that I find
Give my worry new wings
And I settle back down
And await her return
But I'm waiting so long
That I drown

This love is mine
There are laws
Stop a while
Take a pause
Don't you see what you're ending

This love is mine
Its not yours
Its defined
in a clause
In the pages appending

[instrumental]

This love is mine
It's not yours
Read the sign
on the doors
This one just aint for lending

This love is mine...
