lyrics

Sweetheart you’re like
The sugar in my tea
Unnecessary

Sweetheart you’re like
My tea
I prefer coffee

But really I am all I need
Except for cigarettes and mum and coffee and sometimes Codral when champion ruby gets me coughing up things I don’t wanna see

There are plenty of sharks in the sea
And ventti’s are my preference but I tally-hos when I need distraction more than stimulation
Truthfully I dally rare and respectfully

This song’s not for anyone but me
I hope you like the melody

If any line’s felt in your spine
Don’t take it up with me
Straighten your back clean up your act
Start by washing yourself of thoughts of me

Because I still see them in your teeth
The itch in your mane and the cross of your feet
The stare from the left to the right of me
As a man who doesn’t own sunnies I see that one real easy

I’m getting so close to what I want to be
I just wish I didn’t want what you don’t
And none of the other lines are about you or should be taken literally
But I’m done with girls I want a woman finally

I see red flags but I’m a matador
I deserve better
I just haven’t met her

I’m not my father’s son
I’m my granddads little guy
I’m not too small to standover you
And I’m not too big to cry
