(That's a long time)
In a long sress one summer's day she says yes
Now every special request requires another
So many times it feels endless
A big 'yes' branded red on each breast
But she's selfless out there
Doing her strangest scene
Nobody seemed to be impressed
The more she'd do for this fool
The more she's behind schedule
Had no fun for so long
Old records turned her on
To high school flings
When she was full of daring
Colourful har, used to wear 13 rings
Now she's staring grudgery full in the face
And accepts it as her place
And just in case there's anything she missed
She'd recheck the list
Does it over again
To make sure it's spotless.
Jimmy longed for how it used to be
She was viscous and volatie
She was feisty
Iced tea was the tipple
Never asked nicely
Her lips used to curl down ever so slightly
Impolite
Fire burned bright behind the Oakley
You just had to get to grips
After a few long sips juice begins to lose flavour
She no longer gets to savour being consumed
Jimmy sleeps drunk in the other room
Still in his shoes
Escaping headlong into the booze
The whole house vibrating with the changes of mood
From feisty she turned into being nice to me
In the old days he'd have been wearing Ice-T
Jimmy, pray those times return
She was so fine and so beautifully unconcerned
Jimmy told her on the day he quit
You don't love me you love the relationship
(Do what I had to)
(Do what I had to)
Me? I'm the prodeney product of mysogeny
Jimmy and Emily Harmogeny
They promised me nothing but honesty
And that's all I got
I could never be the cement in their relationship
They still haven't forgiven me
You know my own woman's leaving me?
Said she stopped believing me
Can't even see what she saw in me
I told my woman she was beautiful
She didn't believe
Convinced herself I was preparing to leave
So she took my son and left the world to freeze
I told my woman she was beautiful
Ten times a day
Ten times a day she'd smile
And look away
I end up throwing my life down a bottomless pit
And giving myself away
