Before the End by The Levellers Lyrics

Aha, aha, haha, haha
I left my girl at the top of the stairs
Tears in her eyes, hands in her hair
Brushed myself down like I don't care
Forced a smile, get out of there

Now all the casual cruelty hardly seems so wrong. As twist the knife how easily forgiven with

It's just one kiss to build a dream upon
It's just one kiss to build our dreams upon

Elemental force of nature
I fall into your eyes
As you rush with a vain to tear
Soothe all that I despise

Your fragile brutality, our centrifugal pain
Draws the breath right out of me
To pull us round again

Please keep me with you safe my love
'Cause we will meet again before the end
Met my girl by the railroad, head in my hands
She said, "I love you but I hurt you"
I said, "I understand"
And I cherish that malignancy in every part of me. We, the willing amputees over and over and over and over and over and over again

Until the end

Just one kiss to build our dreams upon
It's just one kiss to build a dream upon
It's just one kiss to build our dreams upon

It's just one kiss to build a dream upon
It's just one kiss to build our dreams upon
