"Two years after my mother died, my father fell in love with a glamorous blonde Ukrainian divorcee. He was eighty-four and she was thirty-six. She exploded into our lives like a fluffy pink grenade, churning up the murky water, bringing to the surface sludge of sloughed-off memories, giving the family ghosts a kick up the backside."
"When I saw the car pulling into the driveway and I saw her getting out and walking towards the house, can you imagine Nadezhda, I performed involuntary excretion in my trousers."

Reverse fault

I should know because this fool's in love again


Fools in love, well are there any other kind of lovers?

Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?



Everything you do, everywhere you go now

Everything you touch, everything you feel

Everything you see, everything you know now

Everything you do, you do it for your lady

Love your lady, love your lady

Love your lady, love...



Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic?

Fools in love, never knowing when they've lost the game



Everything you do, everywhere you go now

Everything you touch, everything you feel

Everything you see, everything you know now

Everything you do, you do it for your lady

Love your lady, love your lady

Love your lady, love...



Fools in love they think they're heroes

'Cause they get to feel no pain

I say fools in love are zeros

I should know, I should know

Because this fool's in love again



Fools in love, gently hold each others hands forever

Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb



Everything you do, everywhere you go now

Everything you touch, everything you feel

Everything you do, even your rock 'n' roll now

Nothing mean a thing except you and your lady

Love your lady, love your lady

Love your lady, love...



Fools in love they think they're heroes

'Cause they get to feel no pain

I say fools in love are zeros

I should know, I should know

Because this fool's in love again
