A fast-paced guitar and organ driven song, though it eventually fell out of favour when compared to its compatriot on the album, ‘Bringing Home The Bacon’. The lyrics are grimly humourous, with the singer complaining about the end of a relationship. Keith Reid’s lyrics on the album, like on the prev...
She took all the pleasure and none of the pain
All of the credit and none of the blame
I came home to an empty flat
She'd left me a note and taken the cat
The cord that they knotted to keep us apart
Could never be broken, it was tied to my heart
She grew thin and I grew fat
She left me and that was that
I'm thinking of renting a villa in France
A French girl has offered to give me a chance
Or maybe I'll take an excursion to Spain
And buy a revolver and blow out my brains
Toujours l’amour was written by Keith Reid & Gary Brooker.
