lyrics

So now you go round saying I’m the bad guy
I never thought I’d be the one to blame
Guess I didn’t think that you would miss me
But what you say upsets me just the same
Many things you recollect that I just don’t remember
I guess memory is such a funny thing
At least I think that yours is so let’s make a nice long list
Then you can nod along with me while I sing
Like all those times I never said I loved you
Kept myself from treating you right
I put you down most every day in front of your friends
And I slagged you off in front of mine each night
I was cruel and unusual in the kitchen and the bedroom
Only ever thinking of myself
Then after raising up my kids with all that washing and the cooking
I found somebody younger and just left you on the shelf
Take It Away Mr Guitar.... uh huh
Now what have I forgotten? Oh yeah…
Let me tell you now
I know I was to blame for all the potholes in the road
And the weather when it rained on your birthday
Climate change is down to me I know that’s my fault too
And all the other things that you say
The awful things you say I did to you
The list is getting longer now it’s useless to deny
The awful things you say I did to you
The bad things and the sad things that I did to make you cry
You want me to admit these things are true
Like when I went to the wardrobe cut a hole in all your trousers
Burnt your favourite things just for a laugh – haha!
I fed you worms and said it was spaghetti
And then I drowned your hamster in the bath
Maybe you believe that all these things are true
Delusion’s not the same as lies they say
I’ve moved on now I won’t be looking over my shoulder
But I’m still checking my brake cables every day

Always pushing the boundaries. Favourite track.. Totally Brassic it makes me feel like I’m sat in a field in California circa 1968-1972 in the sunshine with a beer waiting for Santana to come on thinking “ Hell Santana better be good after this”. Dave Quinn
