Lyrics

Well she wakes up with a headache And a self-obsessive creep Who goes on about his problems When she wants to go to sleep Which is hard enough to manage With a mattress like a brick Though the cavalier suspension Never fails to make her sick And I can't seem to make her happy Like I used to do before And the people from her office Seem to matter more and more And a gulf has opened up between us Patently clear to anyone who's seen us And though I will swear till now I never realized It's my fault in her eyes Now the pressure-cooking apples Of our eyes have hit the ground And rolled away across the orchard To the other side of town And their adolescent bruises Need protecting less and less She has lost the only reason She remained here in this mess And a brighter living space may kill her Where she'll take no more orders from the Fรผhrer And she says no attempt's been made to lure her Back to me again in her eyes Well she can fuck off if she wants to 'Cause she'll do it anyway And I'm not giving her the pleasure Of imploring her to stay It's a world of opportunity So she'd better bear in mind If she thinks she's coming back to me I might not wait behind And a host of beauties wait to tempt me None of whom find me boring or resent me Just like those far-off days when she first met me And I was everything in her eyes
