No Milk Today (Herman's Hermits)

No milk today my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn as a symbol of the dawn
No milk today it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why.
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes the end of all my dreams.
How could they know a place there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen.

No milk today it wasn't always so
The company was gay we turned night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down.

No milk today it wasn't always so
The company was gay we turned night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once the start of our romance.
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes the end of all my dreams.
How could they know a place there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen.

No milk today my love has gone away...
