I thought that we’d agreed an end to hostilities
So why have you still got my number on speed?
Is this only tea and biscuits, or something more planned?
Often seduction is not what it seems
But when all your favourite films and songs still hurt yet turn me on – fuck you
It’s nigh on impossible for us to get along – fuck you
Please don’t try to resurrect what should be dead and gone
Our love was no sacred cow
I thought that you’d figured that out
You came – too late to banish traces of who began
Some destination this turned out to be
Please don’t try to expound on theories you’ve read about
You’ve had your fun but now you’d better leave
‘Cause when all your favourite films and songs still hurt yet turn me on – fuck you
It’s nigh on impossible for us to get along – fuck you
Please don’t try to resurrect what should be dead and gone
Our love was no sacred cow
I thought that you’d figured that out
Whose piss-poor casting brought us together as leads?
‘Scuse me for asking, but no-one believed
We’d ever succeed
So quit it, quit with your insipid shit-eating grin
This was no comedy written for screen
‘Cause when all your favourite films and songs still hurt yet turn me on – fuck you
It’s nigh on impossible for us to get along – fuck you
Please don’t try to resurrect what should be dead and gone
Our love was no sacred cow
I thought that you’d figured that out
No way was this ever how we were supposed to play out.
Cartoons! Disco! Chansons! Every excellent version of pop music you can think of, with the best lyricist this side of, ooh, I dunno, Jake Thackray. The French Defence
Another great album - dean wareham, joanna gruesome, lonely tourist, dorotea, the chills, manhattan love suicides & spearmint are all highlights but the whole lot is pretty darn great really martin kiosk
