It was a grey dawn, penciled in lightly The morning screamed, neath the traffic's feet The razor burned commuters reflections It didn't seem a visual treat
The office staff begin the humdrum Making the hours and the money flow The guilty lovers keep their secret And hope it doesn't show
Oh no office love is such a bitch Oh no like a knife in the back
He catches the train up every morning From his Croyden executive estate He's convinced he needs a new future But she's prepared to wait
He swears to step cleanly from a marriage That's become so tangled and confused She knows he's lying for his pleasures He doesn't see her cry He doesn't see her die
Oh no office love is such a bitch Oh no like a knife in the back
She goes home, knowing that it can't go on Her secret fears become too strong Seeing what little love she has she's losing He's the type that manages to sleep at night The guilt is safely locked away But it was just another day, and he's so tired
Her heart seemed set on destruction With lips drawn pale and thin She offered up love like a sacrifice And he was closing in
Her mother sat on the end of the bed Through the dark hours of the night Wagging her finger saying honey This just isn't right
Oh no office love is such a bitch Oh no like a knife in the back
