Fun Boy Three - Tunnel of Love

Consequences, altered cases
Broken noses, altered faces

My ego altered, altered egos
Wherever I go, so does me go

Walk through the fields where the flowers are growing
Carve out your names on the first tree you see

There are 22 catches when you strike your matches

And get down on your knees
In the tunnel of love - the tunnel of love

You fall in feet first - in the tunnel of love
You think of yourselves as really good friends
But you know how it always ends in the tunnel of love

So you get engaged and have a party
Only 17 when the wedding bells chimed
A room with a view and a kid on the way
Hope you make it to the church on time

Cause the wedding list is getting longer
The bottom drawer is getting fuller
And you're not getting any younger
Can things get any better?

* * *

So consequences, altered cases
You tried honeymoons in far away places
But the trial separation worked
And ended up in a divorce case

You gave up your friends for a new way of life
And both ended up as ex husband and wife

There were 22 catches when you struck your matches
And threw away your life in the tunnel of love
