Paloma Faith's 'Romance is Dead'


The plastic flowers you gave
Sit on the table
So unstable
And there's some greasy fingerprints
On that pre wrote birthday card
You wrote your name in
And I know that you make your effort
But I think you could do much better

Are roses blue and violets red
Say it isn't true
Don't tell me romance is dead
So wake up you sleepy head
All your dreams are just a kiss away

I asked you for a letter
So you emailed
Have we failed?
Oh you kiss with such a potential
Then ask to speed up
It's not enough
And now I'm carrying my own bags up
Seventeen flights of stairs love

Are roses blue and violets red
Say it isn't true
Don't tell me romance is dead
So wake up you sleepy head
All your dreams are just a kiss away

It shouldn't take Valentine's day
Just to show you love me
You don't need any money
Just a vivid imagination

Are roses blue and violets red
Say it isn't true
Don't tell me romance is dead
So wake up you sleepy head
All your dreams are just a kiss away




Well, is it?
