"No Milk Today" lyrics - GRAHAM GOULDMAN

No milk today
My love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn
A symbol of the dawn
No milk today
It seems a common sight
But people passing by
Don't know the reason why
How could they know
Just what this message means
The end of my hopes
The end of all my dreams
How could they know
A palace there had been
Behind the door
Where my love reigned as queen
No milk today
It wasn't always so
The company was gay
We turned night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up, two down
No milk today
It wasn't always so
The company was gay
We turned night into day
As music played
The faster did we dance
We felt it both at once
The start of our romance
How could they know
Just what this message means
The end of my hopes
The end of all my dreams
How could they know
A palace there had been
Behind the door
Where my love reigned as queen
No milk today
My love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn
A symbol of the dawn
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up, two down
Just two up, two down
