It's always a loop - love.
Echoing in the chambers, 
Tattooed across the night, 
As drunken fools lurch 
Into front gardens, 
Disturbing foxes and dustbins, 
For some unrequited romancing 
And a bit of dodging father's shoes. 

You can re-record the back beat, 
But you can never quite 
Remaster the soul.
