I wanted to write about an epic love story, but Romeo and Juliet was taken. After getting to know them, I like Abelard and Elouise more.

Lyrics
VERSE 1 He was a football player at the top of his game She was a fashion model, she’d really made her name. He had looks and money, followers and fame. She was looking for him, and he was on the make . VERSE 2 Elouise had family who tried to run her life Matched her with an ugly boy from Leeds. She said she’d rather walk the streets than be forced to be a wife So they locked her in the basement and cut her on the cheek. CHORUS It was never going to work It was the colour of his skin. They could never change the world Change the world that they lived in. VERSE 3 Abelard still saw her, but everywhere he went, Paparrazi followed on his heels. They were just outside a nighclub when the camera flashed - He was on the front page kissing Elouise. VERSE 4 Her father’s brother paid a player twenty thousand pounds To make the tackle that ended his career. As he lay in agony, the football ground all round him Was buzzing with a thousand angry jeers. CHORUS BRIDGE Oh, Abelard and Elouise Don’t you know the difference between love and reality? Oh, Abelard and Elouise You can’t change the world you live in. GUITAR SOLO VERSE 5 Abelard moved overseas and Elouise, to please her mother Married Mr Ugly Boy from Leeds. She wrote long and racey letters her lost and banished lover But she never dared to send them overseas.
