Gangway

Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Gangway


One day they're bound to give you a medal
you always find me when I least want it
well, hello here we go again
I thought you would never look for me here
Sometimes I hate myself for not telling
you to piss off and leave me alone
you're like a Sunday afternoon
you fill me with sadness, depression and gloom

I hoped you'd go away, it would be the first time
I didn't have to listen to all the things
that you would say if you were still around
God knows that I don't need you
to tell me exactly what to do and when
and when

I'm so glad that you're about to leave
I'm so glad it means that no one controls me
and no one possesses me

Last night I had a terrible dream
I dreamt I was present at your funeral
the scent of carnations pleased my mind
the sound from the organ filled me with joy
I was so pleased by your death
I was so happy at your funeral
But seeing you now fills me with remorse
I'm trying so hard to show that I like you
my tap on your shoulder makes me embarrassed
I'm laughing and joking a little to much
you're like a Sunday afternoon
you fill me with sadness, depression and gloom

I hoped you'd go away, it would be the first time
I didn't have to listen to all the things
that you would say if you were still around
God knows that I don't need you
to tell me exactly what to do and when
and when

I'm so glad that you're about to leave
I'm so glad it means that no one controls me
and no one possesses me

One day they're bound to give you a medal
you always find me when I least want it
well, hello here we go again
you fill me with sadness, depression and gloom
