Lyrics
Our Love is a Different Kind of Thing,
Words and Music by Tony Chapman ©1997
A
dressed in silk and satin with the
E (maybe A drone)
co-operative backing of the
D A E
Unlimited company we keep
A
with a rabbit's foot and heather, with a
E
hammer and a feather we
D E A (D, A,)
walk together proudly down the street
C#m F#m D A
some say love goes out when poverty comes in
D E A
but our love is a different kind of thing
they say its not worth trying but
birth comes after dying so we
step out like royalty on the town
with your home made turquoise skirt and my
second hand white shirt, apple
blossom like confetti flutters down
some say "lovers leap" and "suicide's a sin" so our
love is a different kind of thing
E7 A E7 A E7 A
to celebrate our beauty we stand by Nelson's column
D2 E A
while the tourists take our photos for their friends
E7 A E7 A E7 A
we're famous for a moment the cameras click and whirr
D2 Esus4
behind us Houses of Parliament and Big Ben
at the end of every day
sunset colours play
kaleidoscopes in your golden hair
and we cuddle up so warm there's no
television on we've got
other kinds of things we like to share
some say "true loves song, the mute swan sings"
but our love is a different kind of thing
so we'll take our loving cup and fill it to the brim
because our love is a different kind of thing.
