Cover art for The New Stone Age lyrics by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

"This is the room, this is the wall This is the body I've been hoping for These are the words I've been longing just to say So this is my goal, the aim of my life"

To love somebody

"Oh my God what have I done this time Oh my God what have I done this time"

But there is a problem of guilt ie to fuck your best friend's one?

"The things that you've done You don't understand The feeling the longing The failing it's gone"

Hard to realize how you gone there, why, and how it looks futile then, postcoitum guilt.

"Oh my God what have we done this time"

But I won't take the guilt alone
