In my opinion White Lies' best song, and one of the best kept musical secrets of 2009. I have been looking for this song on KZfaq over the past while and have only been able to find live versions, so thought I would upload the LP version with a few photos of the boys in action.

Lyrics:Don't lay a finger I said, as he held her with five.
kissed the crest of her lips and put his hands on her thighs
One million in a week or the girls gonna go,
I'll kill you in a second he laughed yeah I know.
I won eight hundred thousand on a game show but it's not enough to win her back.
As my tears hit the floor he still said no come on man give me some slack,
I looked at the case he said I'll show you her blood i screamed dont the phone line so is this the price of love.
When i stare in your eyes i see the image of god, well girl listen out for the phone call and pray for a flood.
I called at a quater past nine and said I've done all I can, he said you win some you lose some i feel bad for you man. He slammed down the phone and took his coat from the bin,
She said what happens now or tell your husband your dead. She said I loved you and pleaded for a hero to stay but knew deep inside that he'd planned it this way.
I gave him my heart and now hes left it to die and i know i can't go back,
he walks out the room and shouts I'll see you around,
she begged come on give me some slack.
he said theres no hope but babe you can wait for that dove,
she screamed from the window so is this the price of love,
said is this the price of love,
said is this the price of love.
So is this the price of love.
