No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn
A symbol of the dark


No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by

Don't know the reason why

But how could they know just what this message means

The end of my hopes
The end of all my dreams


How could they know what palace might have been
Behind the door
Where my love reigns as Queen


No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay

We turned night into day

After we played and came up from the dance

Well that was were we sowed
The seeds of old romance


Well how could we know just what this message means
The end of our hopes
The end of all our dreams


Then how could I know what palace might have been


Behind the door
Where my love reigns as Queen


And all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in the main-street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only

Just to help you down

But how could you know just what this message means

The end of our hopes
The end of all our dreams


And how could I know what palace might have been
Behind the door
Where my love reigns as Queen


No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by

Don't know the reason why

No milk today, my love has gone away

The bottle stands forlorn
A symbol of the dark


No milk today (today)
No milk today (no milk today)
