Bilingual
The first girl that I fell for
Was a fair and faithful fighter
She smouldered with a will
To save the world
I did my best to help her
Yeah, I stood shoulder to shoulder
On the front lines with my
Visionary girl
I wish that she had cared for me
But in the end her ideologies
Occupied the fortress of her heart
I wrote her fifteen songs
But still we had to part
And if music
Was the food of love
Then I'd be a fat, romantic slob
But music
Well, it's my substitute for love
ย
The last girl that I loved
She was a low and lusty liar
She set my heart on fire
But made me choke
Her beauty was a sight to see
But she didn't save it all for me
I found other fires
By following the smoke
I wish that she had either cared
For me or let me be
But she chased me from my mind
And from my home
I wrote her sixteen songs
But I ended up alone
And if love is really
All that we need
Then even all my singing is
Never gonna save me
Music
Well, it's my substitute for love
Well, I've had many different girls inside my bed
But only one or two inside my head
These days I cuddle up to my guitar instead
But oh
What I would give
Not to stumble but to really fall in love
And I could substitute my singing
For the sound of someone sleeping next to me
