Agnes, It all ended up in tears Well we were an odd couple you and I In our strange and original attire I thought, I thought it was love at first sight My mother, my mother she shivered with fright And I couldn't tell if you were boy or girl My mind was in such a swirl It was a case of grist to the mill True love grows, it grows where it will Alas oh Agnes, I still adore you Oh Agnes [Repeat: x4] Oh Agnes it all ended up in tears But you still have your souvenirs You've got scars from head to toe It's getting hard to tell your friends from foes When you picked me up at the station After my back street operation You broke me, you broke the painful news You dumped me, you dumped me for a pretty young muse So the lessons are there to learn My scars are caused my cigarette burns I have no mirrors and I spend my days Reminiscing on your porcelain gaze Alas oh Agnes, I still adore you Oh Agnes [Repeat: x4]
