I Have A Love (Overmono Remix)

I have a love, and it never fades
From red garden sheds
To watching lads on steds knocking heads
From the two by two fuck you punk stage
To a warehouse rave, with a bloke we met on the way
Dancing til day

I have a love, and it never fades
Full of plights and gripes, like Achilles who loves fights
Like you did, right?
Like we did, twice
I will love you beyond life

I have a love, and it never fades
You are God’s son across the bеlly
Rememberеd by pictures on your telly
Your body laying in its glow
Surrounded by those you know
Crying for you words, and your soul

And the final loss of your glimmer of hope
That we heard every time that ya spoke
And choked up rooms, and blocks, and venues
And lads and mots, with words that spoke soft of those lost
Now we send you off on funeral cloth

I have a love, and it never fades
From red garden sheds
To watching lads on steds knocking heads
From the two by two fuck you punk stage
To a warehouse rave, with a bloke we met on the way
Dancing til day

I have a love, and it never fades
Full of plights and gripes, like Achilles who loves fights
Like you did, right?
Like we did, twice
I will love you beyond life

I have a love, and it never fades
You are God’s son across the belly
Remembered by pictures on your telly
Your body laying in its glow
Surrounded by those you know
Crying for you words, and your soul

I have a love, and it never fades
From the space where we learned to be brave
And face guards, grief, and knaves
And late days that could shame and break saints
With the weight of the city's hate from the smothering state
Every cent we could take
Went on the art that we'd make
We'd go straight through the day on a rake of empty plates
Up to 8 of us poolin' ten quid to make something great
So our love will never fade
Our love will never fade

But the love that remains would shape the memory that stays
Even now I can see your face when those chords are replayed
Arm around me shoulder in teenage embrace
“Tell All Your Friends”, I'd say

I have a love, and it never fades
Now a long way from school days, sharing books at big break
With the two of us, and Barry and Craig
Talking tunes and poems with too much weight for our age

And a year ago or so I played this song for you on the car stereo in the night's breeze
This bit kicked in with it's synths and its keys and you smiled as ya sat next to me
You in the front, Gilly in the backseat, going ninety to the sounds as we roared down the street
The other boys stompin feet, and me in utter disbelief from the joy from the break in the beats
We got out and stood, by the Kia Rio caged stage
And I felt like I had it all
'Cause I have a love, and it will never fade
And either will you, Paul
