The Flowers of Romance Lyrics
Now in the summer
I could be happy or in distress
Depending on the company
On the veranda
Talk of the future or reminisce
Behind the dialogue
We're in a mess
Whatever I intended
I sent you flowers
You wanted chocolates instead
The flowers of romance
The flowers of romance
I've got binoculars
On top of boxhill
I could be Nero
Fly the eagle and start all over again
I can't depend on these so called friends
It's a pity you need to defend
I'll take the furniture and start all over again
I could be happy or in distress
Depending on the company
On the veranda
Talk of the future or reminisce
Behind the dialogue
We're in a mess
Whatever I intended
I sent you flowers
You wanted chocolates instead
The flowers of romance
On top of boxhill
I could be Nero
Fly the eagle and start all over again
I can't depend on these so called friends
It's a pity you need to defend
I'll take the furniture and start all over again

Flowers of Romance was the name of a early punk band that Keith Levene as well as Sid Vicious and some of the Slits were all involved with. Theres also a early Sex Pistols song with the same name as well.
"I'll take the furniture and start all over again" This is pretty clearly about the end of a relationship, isn't it?
Or the end of Lydon's creative relationship with Levene, at least on some level.
