Heard that you were leaving me pity, poor old misery
He stuck his tongue right inside my ear
Now you think you’re gonna be someone in aristocracy
But you know that fashions only last a year
I remember when we met you said that I was gonna get
everything I wanted while I’m here
I followed you beneath the moon and far away but all too soon
Saw everything I had just disappear
But I just can’t fear
And now you think I’m all alone waiting by the telephone
But in actual fact I never shed a tear
Perhaps I should be feeling bad but I can’t because I’m just too glad
As I watch you and your grey clouds disappear
And I just can’t fear take it easy.
I witnessed what you did and said and when you lost your angry head
It landed on the street I’ve got it here
Your eyeballs looked like bibles and your lawyers and your libels
Can all fuck off cause you know I’m out of here
You were never what you said you never were that good in bed
Like riding on a razor down a weir
I knew you’d leave me one fine day those itchy feet were made of clay
And your tongue was always sharper than a spear.
