How to Find True Love and Happiness in the Present Day - The Stranglers

Once I knew a man in love with money

He said it solved his worries and his cares

The one day

I heard him say

Something I hear everywhere

Once I knew a man in love with power

He bought a uniform and he kept it clean

Then one day

I heard him say

There's something he's never seen

Tell him how to find true love and happiness

In the present day

Tell him how to find true love and happiness

In the present day

Then I know a girl in love with living

Didn't like to stay in one place long

Then one day

I heard her say

She'd discovered something's wrong

Tell her how to find true love and happiness

In the present day

Tell her how to find true love and happiness

In the present day

Tell him how to find true love and happiness

In the present day
