Lyrics:

Always move in pairs and travel light

A loose friend is an enemy, keep it tight

Always leave a job the way you found it

Look for trouble coming and move around it

That's the way we make love

Always make your best moves late at night

Always keep your tools well out of sight

It never pays to work the same town twice

It never hurts to be a little nice

That's the way we make love

Learn the way to melt into a crowd

Never catch an eye or dress too loud

You've got to be invisible my friend

To find the joy on which we must depend

That's the way we make love

Love love love love

That's the way we make love

It's been yeas since I read about it and I honestly can't remember, but it wasn't just some RT fan's idea. I'm sory I wish I could remember the source so I could tell you. However, if you read an in-depth account of the Moors Murders, the perpetrators, and the way they went about what they did, I think you might agree that that connection makes more sense than the general idea of being vaguely about the RT/LT breakup. The song has some very specific references. Also see post re: German lyrics

@snicky58 I remember reading back when this was released that it was inspired (as was the rest of the album) by his imploding marriage to his now ex-wife Linda. Where did you hear about the Moors Murders connection?

@snicky58 I think it is intended to relate to the tradition that the last thing a dying person sees is imprinted on their irises.

@gaspode18 Thank you. I had always wondered about that.

@snicky58 The German is from a poem by Rilke and translates as: - “Put out my eyes and I can see you still."

@snicky58 No, I honestly had no idea that that was the case. And you're right that listening to it again with that knowledge makes the whole thing much darker.

I'm sure you already know this, maroonedsorrow ... this song was inspired by the child-murdering team of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, who were responsible for the "Moors Murders." This song has always spooked me a little -- even though I absolutely love it, especially the dissonance -- but after I learned what it's about, it became even spookier.
