Lyrics

[00:03.050] In all the famous love affairs
[00:04.490] The lovers have to struggle
[00:06.670]
[00:07.420] In garret rooms away upstairs
[00:09.240] The lovers starve and snuggle
[00:11.540]
[00:12.290] They're famous for misfortune which
[00:14.100] They seem to have no fear of
[00:17.030] While lovers who are very rich
[00:19.780] You very seldom hear of
[00:23.090]
[00:26.140] No little shack do you share with me
[00:29.450]
[00:30.010] We do not flee from a mortgagee
[00:33.010]
[00:34.200] Nary a care in the world have we
[00:37.750]
[00:38.500] How can love survive?
[00:40.240]
[00:42.120] You're fond of bonds and you own a lot
[00:45.490]
[00:46.170] I have a plane and a diesel yacht
[00:49.490]
[00:50.100] Plenty of nothing you haven't got
[00:54.220] How can love survive?
[00:56.470]
[00:58.220] No rides for us on the top of a bus
[01:01.710] In the face of the freezing breezes
[01:04.770]
[01:06.330] You reach your goals in your comfy old rolls
[01:09.760] Or in one of your Mercedeses
[01:12.190]
[01:14.190] Far, very far off the beam are we
[01:17.620]
[01:18.190] Quaint and bizarre as a team are we
[01:21.550]
[01:22.120] Two millionaires with a dream are we
[01:25.990] We're keeping romance alive
[01:28.980]
[01:30.170] Two millionaires with a dream are we
[01:34.100] We'll make our love survive
[01:39.150]
[01:46.080] No little cold water flat have we
[01:50.130] Warmed by the glow of insolvency
[01:52.880]
[01:54.130] Up to your necks in security
[01:56.820]
[01:58.190] How can love survive?
[02:00.490]
[02:02.050] How can I show what I feel for you?
[02:05.610]
[02:06.170] I cannot go out and steal for you
[02:10.230] I cannot die like Camile for you
[02:14.230] How can love survive?
[02:16.340]
[02:18.150] You millionaires with financial affairs
[02:21.270]
[02:21.780] Are too busy for simple pleasure
[02:24.710]
[02:26.080] When you are poor it is toujours l'amour
[02:29.760] For l'amour all the poor have leisure
[02:32.690]
[02:34.190] Caught in our gold platted chains are we
[02:37.680]
[02:38.190] Lost in our wealthy domains are we
[02:41.490]
[02:42.180] Trapped by our capital gains are we
[02:45.920] But we'll keep romance alive
[02:48.290]
[02:50.100] Trapped by our capital gains are we
[02:54.540] We'll make our love survive
