The Stranglers Spectre of Love Lyrics

N/C Am F C E
I never knew what made me do it
I just remember it was wrong
I've questioned why I put you through it
Who would have thought you'd be so strong?
G Am (Riff 1)
I should have wrapped you up and kept you safe
Instead I turned my back on you
You can't deny there's a spectre of love
He keeps a hawk and dove
Am F C E Am (Riff 2 Three times) E
You can't deny there's a spectre of love
I keep your picture by my window
You're smiling and you look so young
If I could only speak your language
You'd know that you're the only one
G Am (Riff 1)
I feel I'm stepping out in dead man's shoes
And only you can save me now
You can't deny there's a spectre of love
He keeps a hawk and dove
You can't deny there's a spectre of love
And if the time should come
F E N/C
This can be undone - and I swear it
Guitar solo to chords of chorus
Am F C G (4 times)
G Am (Riff 1)
Salvation can be found in times like these
I just need you and I've found mine
You can't deny there's a spectre of love
He keeps a hawk and dove
You can't deny there's a spectre of love
He keeps a hawk and dove
You can't deny there's a spectre of love
Chorus as above then Riff 2, two and a half times to finish with: Am G Am
