No milk today my love is 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 all 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 turn'd 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 to down No milk today it wasn't always so The company was gay we turn'd 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 all 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 is 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 to down No milk today my love is 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 all 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 turn'd night into day But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town All that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town
