Oh L'Amour

Oh L'Amour is a song on the Lancaster Canon.

At Lancaster, it is traditional for everyone to sit on the ground in a somewhat semi-circle shape, with their legs crossed, 'Indian style.' During the verses, you slap your knees twice, then clap twice, staying in beat of course. During the chorus, it changes to slapping your knees once, then clapping once. This was once explained as a reference to a protest dance when another Canon song was cut off to play Oh L'Amour at a long-ago dance.

Lyrics

Oh L'Amour, by Erasure

Chorus:
Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

Looking for you
You were looking for me
Always reaching for you
You were too blind to see
Oh love of my heart
Why leave me alone
I'm falling apart
No good on my own

Chorus

Why throw it away
Why walk out on me
I just live for the day
For the way it should be
There once was a time
Had you here by my side
You said I wasn't your kind
Only here for the ride

Chorus

No emotional ties
You don't remember my name
I lay down and die
I'm only to blame
Oh love of my heart
It's up to you now
You tore me apart
I hurt inside-out

Chorus
