Virgins and Philistines Lyrics by The Colourfield

Virgins and Philistines

1985

Go, my love
This is the last day
Of feeling fine
For virgins and philistines
Just one more kiss on your beautiful lips
Then go, my love
Goodbye
What do you mean it happens to millions?
I can't believe
Believe I'm so ignorant
As you take the prize
In the art of deception
Forever I'll swear
Swear I was innocent
Still, my love
It's not the end of the world for us
Let the rivers run dry
If then we smile
We'll know it's worthwhile
So don't cry, my love
We can get by
The waves of self pity
Are crashing all over you
Can't buy my love
With blackmail and bribery
The glamour has faded
You're looking quite jaded
When I look at you
I'm faced with obscurity
Oh, my love
And all that I am
Is all that I want to be
And yes I admit
I was thrilled by the ecstasy
But that was the evil
That conquered the purity
Proved that the pleasures were shallow
But oh it hurts, my love
To see you in pain
You wanted so much
And got caught in the rain
The fate may divide us
You might see the truth
When the earth becomes heaven
For you
