“No Milk Today” became a popular hit for the group in the UK and across Europe, peaking at number seven in the UK singles charts, telling the story of a down-on-his-luck lover and their struggles with leaving a note for the milkman.
The track was the second major hit written by Graham Gouldman and...
[Verse 1]
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by, don't know the reason why
[Chorus]
How could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?
[Verse 2]
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we turned night into day
[Bridge]
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine where I think of you only
Just two up two down
[Verse 3]
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we turned night into day
As music played, the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
[Chorus]
How could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
[Bridge]
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine where I think of you only
Just two up two down
[Verse 1]
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by, don't know the reason why
[Chorus]
How could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
[Repeat and fade]
