TUNNEL OF LOVE, THE
(Lynval Golding / Terry Hall / Neville Staples)

FUN BOY THREE - 1983


Consequences, altered cases
Broken noses, altered faces
My ego altered, altered egos
Wherever I go, so does me go

Walk through the fields where the flowers are growing
Carve out your names on the first tree you see
There are twenty-two catches when you strike your matches
And get down on your knees

In the tunnel of love (The tunnel of love)
You fall in feet first (In the tunnel of love)
You think of yourselves as really good friends
But you know how it always ends in the tunnel of love

So you get engaged and have a party
Only seventeen when the wedding bells chimed
A room with a view and a kid on the way
Hope you make it to the church on time

'Cause the wedding list is getting longer
The bottom drawer is getting fuller
And you're not getting any younger
Can things get any better

In the tunnel of love (The tunnel of love)
You fall in feet first (In the tunnel of love)
And think of yourselves as really good friends
But you know how it always ends in the tunnel of love

The tunnel of love

(Instrumental Break)

So consequences, altered cases
You tried honeymoons in far off places
But the trial seperation worked
And ended up in a divorce case

You gave up your friends for a new way of life
And both ended up as ex-husband and wife
There were twenty-two catches when you struck your matches
And threw away your life

In the tunnel of love (The tunnel of love)
You fell in feet first (In the tunnel of love)
And thought of yourselves as really good friends
But you know how it had to end in the tunnel of love

(In the tunnel of love) The tunnel of love
(The tunnel of love) The tunnel of love
(In the tunnel of love) In the tunnel of love
