NO MILK TODAY
 (Graham Gouldman)

 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

 How could they know just what this message means
 The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
 How could they know the palace there had been
 Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

 No milk today, it wasn't always so
 The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

 But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
 A terraced house in a mean street back of town
 Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
 Just two up two down

 No milk today, it wasn't always so
 The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
 As music played the faster did we dance
 We felt it both at once, the start of our romance

 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

 But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
 A terraced house in a mean street back of town
 Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
 Just two up two down

 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

 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, it wasn't always so
 The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

 But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
 A terraced house in a mean street back of town
 Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
 A terraced house in a mean street back of town
 Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
 A terraced house in a mean street back of town
