Lovestruck Lyrics

Staggering home the headlights throw a shadow up and upon
Friends and loved ones that have done no wrong
But no longer mean anything to me
Oh am I mumbling on into a crystal glass that echoes a song?
The enticement invites you along
A path of exterior colour

But come the morning shivering and contorting
To border on the brink for just another sink
Oh take me down for one more round

Oh involve me in libation, stick a rock in my foundation
I pick all my relations, put me on probation
Oh I'll take you down for one last round

Oh

Lovestruck I've fallen for a lamppost
Given her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings
Lovestruck I've fallen for a lamppost
Given her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings

Now all I want to do is snuggle up to you
A night cap in the early morning dew

Look what have I become
Distancing myself so far and front
But gazing up I wave the night boat on
For now it's heaven in deepest Tottenham

Oh, what have I done to deserve this fate?
It's all going wrong
Even the cab fare has been and gone
And now I'm lagging in deepest Tottenham

But come the morning shivering and contorting
To border on the brink for just another sink
Oh take me down for one more round

Yeah

Lovestruck I've fallen for a lamppost
Given her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings
Lovestruck I've fallen for a lamppost
Given her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings

Fight me, fight me, strike me down with lightning
I've given in to fight you
Now all I want to do is get closer to you
A night-cap in the early morning dew

Oh

Lovestruck I've fallen for a lamppost
Given her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings
Lovestruck I've fallen for a lamppost
Given her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings

Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost
I'm giving it my utmost, I've fallen for a lamppost
With my deepest feelings

Now all I want to do is snuggle up to you
A night-cap in the early morning dew

It's about being very pissed ('drunk' for the none Englanders!) and falling in love with a lampost (Come on, we've all done it!).

Yeah this song's about being as drunk as drunk can be.

It's all set in Tottenham, a part of London. Less than half an hour from Camden (where Madmess lived).

@dwitefry "deepest Tottenham" is also slang. Referencing the football team, its slang use would mean "deepest sh*t". (I only know this because my husband is a spurs fan and gets this kind of thing a lot, particularly from arsenal and Chelsea fans - I believe Suggs is a Chelsea fan)

I love the line "mumbling on into a crystal glass that echoes a song"

Makes me think everyone else has left, and you're just there talking to your pint, but in your inebriated state everything you say is gold and each philosophy above anything else you could say while sober.

One of my fave Madness songs
