Lyrics

There There it is There's the look that launched a thousand thoughts the first time that I saw it You remember, Marlena, when you met me You were running from your life And I was running out of money You had nothing I had nothing But when you looked at me You looked at me Like I was everything that you'd ever need And so it's strange to see That look again But not for me Forgive me I've been blathering on You asked me a question, Jacob You wanted to know what I thought of your Thoughtful sugg?stion I think that a gift is a gift And you're free to reject on? But here's a suggestion Don't deign to spit in a man's face and then Call it communion Remember, you'd have nothing You've got nothing without me I mean, whatever happened, ya think? Don't, Auggie. All Jacob meant was-- Oh good Here's the translator Equally eloquent at speaking adulterer As she is elephant My darling, which language comes easier? I have my theories Auggie, that's enough! Put a ring on a finger And what do you get? You get happily married And a little in debt And then after a decade of marital bliss You find out it don't amount To a thimble of piss Turns out You've got nothing You meant nothing To her August, calm down and listen to me! You think it's easy? Think what I do for you is easy? Dealing with the rubes And the bookers The broken-down kinkers All of them trying to cheat me At least we could trust each other At least I could trust my wife! Talk to me! Don't accuse me! Oh! Accuse you! You all but admitted it The minute I walked in The two of you scurried Like rats from a gutter You think I can't spot a little spat Between lovers? And suddenly You've got nothing You've got nothing To say I'm not gonna stand here and let him go on like this Don't get involved, Jacob, please Don't get involved That's rich Coming from the bitch who can't stop herself getting involved But it's still great advice Or to be more precise Don't go screwing another man's wife-- Stop! That is enough!
