lyrics

I remember you said I was the one, our love shone more than the midnight sun,
It burnt so bright, for everyone to see;
Then in a flash it was over, blew up like a supernova
Now there's a black hole where your lovin' used to be.

To find it again was my only hope, so I went an' bought a big ol' telescope
To search around the whole wide galaxy
With a compass, a sextant and a planisphere, but alas there's still no cheer,
Just a black hole where your lovin' used to be.

With chromatic abberation I was seeing double, I wonder how much it is to rent the Hubble
I need a bit more sensitivity (obviously),
I don't wanna hear any snide remarks, I just gotta get to Parkes
Coz there's a black hole where your loving used to be.

Still no trace of your love, I'd never have picked; what the theories would say, what the models predict
It'll shrink down to a singularity (by relativity)
I'll find matter that's dark using matter that's grey, and the Very Large Array,
There's still a black hole where your lovin' used to be.

There's no end to all my frustration, I'll scan the microwave background radiation
To map the Big Bang Glow to a millionth of a degree,
I'll go on searching, I can do no worse; till they pack me off in an interstellar hearse
Till the end of time, it'll be my curse; to search the whole universe
Coz there's a black hole where your lovin,
There's a black hole where your lovin,
There's a big black hole where your lovin used to be.
