lyrics

She brought me breakfast on a sunday afternoon
I thought that everything was fine
I stirred my coffee with that little silver spoon
And went back to my copy of The Times
But it seemed she had the hump with me
Bedclothes pulled right out from under me
Guess I should have read between the lines

So I said it
Oh my god I regret it
Sounded entirely synthetic
And she only deepened her frown
Yes I said it
Oh my god i regret it
Sounded completely pathetic
I'm tired of letting her down

She reads the gossip in her favourite magazine
Undressed and sprawled across the floor
I pinch her thigh with ardour, hoping that she's keen
And making eyes towards the bedroom door
But it seems she has the antidote
She just goes back to the horoscopes
Guess I should have learned to read the signs

Chorus

I want to make her happy
I really do
But I don't care about the colour of her shoes
I want to be the man she
Wants me to be
But every time I rent a film it's Rambo 3
(or Rambo 1 or Rambo 2 or Rambo threeeeeee)

We have her parents over for the christmas meal
I'm busy eating the mince pies
Her mother staring at me with that gaze of steel
Because I've thrown out all her christmas ties
But the dinner's a catastrophe
Turkey's gone all dry and plasticky
And I fear I've drunken all the wine

Chorus
