lyrics

Through the fog of a morning encounter
I can’t help but be surprised and appalled
By this relic of a revelation
That once again her life has stalled

In the arms of this pathetic clod
And no-one’s perfect but he’s so flawed
It’s obvious he invokes some kind of special myopia
It baffles us that her confidence
Is so remedial that his incompetence
Can get him oh-so-very far

But Jessica says “He’s so much better than he was before”
And Jessica says he never leaves her when she’s ever wanting more
Jessica says “Why give it one shot when you could have four?”
But Jessica, say, can you tell us that he’s not a massive bore?

With a shamelessly paltry cliché
Of reconciliation
He somehow scores a victory
With an inane humiliation

Witless proponent of the black art
Of how to win back the fragile heart
Of a young woman we all know could do so much better
Against all expectation
But she’s got dedication
To poor decisions, so I guess that we should just let her

Jessica says “He’s so much better than he was before”
And Jessica says he never leaves her when she’s ever wanting more
Jessica says “She can’t believe we’ve all been keeping score
But Jessica, say, can you tell us that he’s not a massive bore?

But it’ll end up the same way that it always does
A real damp salt-stained shoulder for one of us
Concealed erections and the last night bus
Piss-poor attempts at not causing a fuss
So we’ll keep on doing what we’ve always done
Drinking ourselves to death in search for fun
Drawing the curtains, banishing the sun
With broken flowers and a flickering TV at dawn
