lyrics

If I hadn’t seen my family disappear
When you’re at the door
If I hadn’t heard your every good idea
At least once before
I would argue the case for you now

If I didn’t know that every thousand pounds
Was really a ton
If I didn’t hear you putting your best friends down
You’d still be the one
That I’d say was profound
And I’d still be around to impress

Please don’t phone
When you’re sitting all alone in an old folks’ home
I’m not in
And there’s no way I’ll begin when I just can’t win with you

If it hadn’t been for all of your endless talk
With zero to say
After twenty years of watching the way you work
I’ll call it a day
‘Cause you’re pure fantasy
And it’s easy to see through the hype

Don’t come round
‘Cause the kids are going to drown out the doorbell sound
Keep away
‘Cause there’s no-one here today to come out to play with you

If it wasn’t for a mutual friend who said
You’d told them the same
I would even be inclined to believe you meant
The best in your way
I would wait to have heard your excuse

If you didn’t have to make an impression on them
Then why all the fuss?
‘Cause it never really mattered to anyone
And least of all us
But it’s too bloody late
And I won’t hesitate to cut you off

Leave me out
There was never any doubt of what you’re all about
Just steer clear
My pathological fear of you being so near

Lies lies lies
Did you ever see the size of my big brown eyes?
Why why why
Did I never ever cry when I said goodbye to you?
