(note: on the D chord in the verses, there is a descending
bassline which can played on an acoustic guitar by playing
There is no love inside of me
I gave it to a thousand girls
We built towers of saddened ivory
In our English towns, in our english towns
The dogs they try to possess us
I can hear their anguished cries
They built towers of saddened ivory
In our English towns, in our english towns
I can see their astonished eyes
Look the same in any size
And their secrets are all the same
Seeking pleasure seeking fame
No love in a thousand girls
No love in a thousand girls
