lyrics

Turns out it was a terrible show
I got my money back but she wont go
And it’s far too late to follow
The signs of love we’ll never know, you know

What a waste of money and wine
But then she took my hand it was an obvious sign
She’s gonna walk me home, cos she’s got the time
And it’s not just about this body of mine, you know

No, no, no no no no no
No, no, no no no no no
No, no, no no no no no
No

Turns out her money’s a home
So I can lead a life that I should have known
I got a suitcase made and a fine coat wove
She loves me dear because I always phone, you know.

What a taste for money and wine
Across the table there was an obvious sign
There gonna walk me home, cos they’ve got the time
And it’s not just about this body of mine, you know

No, no, no no no no no
No, no, no no no no no
No, no, no no no no no
No

Doh doh doh doh doh…..

We keep on talking but
We’re playing at this love
Forever, forever my dear
Forever, forever my dear

Doh doh doh doh doh....

No tea as I open the door
I see my washing’s done but it’s on the floor
I guess I should’ve loved her more
And now she’s gone I never wanted her more

What a waste of money and wine
She took my heart and cat and car this time
And it’s over now, but you know it’s fine
It’s just a case of falling all the time.
