And he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you Some things are too painful to say out loud Well, they live behind a veil and see through a shroud Words fly through his mouth Like paper butterflies Well they flutter around and put holes in your side And he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you I knew that you were thinking of him last night 'Cos I saw the blood seep down to your toes Yes, hideaway if you must But how can you put your trust In a man who always sleeps in his clothes? And he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you Yes he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you You're the sweet scent on an envelope Or the photo in it's book But if you pin your hopes to his back my dear I'm afraid the bubble will burst The bubble will burst The bubble will burst The bubble will burst The bubble will burst The bubble will burst The bubble will burst The bubble will burst And he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you And he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you Yes he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you
