lyrics

She’s always been a pitch-fork lover, comes a-banging on the door
Well I don’t mind you coming over, but what do you gotta bring that pitchfork for?
And whatever happened to your peace of mind?
She said, “That peace of mind, wasn’t mine”
“It’s like my heart baby, it was always yours”

See those planes criss-crossing the sky, all up above the fields in a grid of smoke
See those wicker-basket thieves, escaping down the river in a boat
Didn’t have a poster, didn’t have a reward
So I just nailed her perfume on the door
Everybody just drags themselves back in by the nose

And the sun splits the apple trees, and the breeze
Blows down from a cottage on the hill
She says, “I think I’m in love again”
Throwing up stones on a window until
I’m sitting on her porch with the stars
She says “I won’t be a fool again”
I said “Just don’t fool me”

Well I’ve spent some time in England, I was far from impressed
And I went to Argentina, they’re friendly but they got no depth
The only lesson I learned, is what I already knew
You can’t really love someone, unless they want you to
You shouldn’t not make a move because you’re used to not making it

And now the waiter’s got no clothes on, the menus are hanging from the chairs
She says “Where’s the menu?” I say, “Can’t you see it, it’s right there!”
I scream at her, “How come you can’t see it, are you blind?”
She says “Yeah, and I’ll be blind until the end of time”
“And even if I could see, I couldn’t see a threat to you”

Then the sun splits the battlefield, and the breeze
Blows down from the general’s tent
She says, “I don’t want to fight again”
On the bridge on the river, he’s broken and bent
He says “I got no regrets but I’m tired”
“I just can’t fight again”
She says “I promise you won’t have to”

I just met your sister’s husband, sitting on the kerb in lover’s lane
He doesn’t want freedom; just a different cage
Oh but you, just you try and get some beauty sleep
The kind of rest only the rest of us need
I’ll wake you up in an hour; you can put your new waistcoat on
