about

"The Last Thing We Need Is Another Love Song", is - of course - a love song, written by Les, ironically suggesting that no more love songs are needed when there’s so much else that’s important to write about, yet concluding by saying “without love we may just survive, but this living game isn’t worth the candle, only when we love are we truly alive”.

lyrics

The last thing we need is another love song

(Chorus)
The last thing we need is another love song
Those ones that break your heart in two
But if this song is not a love song
Then what other song could I sing with you?

1)
I guess it could be a song of protest
After all in this world there’s so much that’s wrong
And we should be down in the square protesting
And the last thing we need is another song

[instrumental verse 1 - Gene’s electric guitar]

2)
If we think a while it could be existential
All about the meaning of why we’re here
We could search the world for the elemental
Or just pass the time drinking wine and beer

(Chorus)

3)
The last thing we need is another love song
If we don’t love we may just survive
But this living game isn’t worth the candle
Only when we love are we truly alive

(Chorus)
But if this song is not a love song
Then what other song could I sing to you?
