They Suffocate at Night Lyrics

A rich, lush, blackly humourous ballad from Mr. Cocker and Co. from 1986
*CHORDS*(EADBGe)
*INTRO*
*VERSE*
ALL THE VERSES ARE THE SAME AS THE INTRO.
His body loved her
His mind was set on other things
Keep your face out of sight
And your thoughts to yourself
*BRIDGE*
And this went on for several nights
Festering in silence
Growing in the dark
*CHORUS*
And this they saw as love
Looooovvvvvvveeeeeee
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Oh this thay saw as love
Loooooovvvvvveeeeeee
So sad to see
To see it slowly die
*VERSE*
SAME AS BEFORE
She met his wishes
He found that he had changed his mind
Now the fit is too tight
And the bedroom too warm
*BRIDGE*
SAME AS BEFORE
The days are full of things to do
Night time lives so hollow
And memories betrayed
*CHORUS*
SAME AS BEFORE
Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
To see it slowly die
*VERSE*
SAME AS BEFORE
Two years have passed
Two years of emptiness inside
And the grey skies above
Show just how far I went wrong
*BRIDGE*
SAME AS BEFORE
I wonder if she's living there
The way that I recall
The way I'll always think of you
*CHORUS*
SAME AS BEFORE
When I think of you
I think of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
To see it slowly die
*VERSE*
SAME AS BEFORE
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I need her
No, I don't need her
I need her
ohhhhhh
etc.
