Never seems to land on six
And that 48 card pack
Is short of some of my old tricks
The horse I bet on all those years ago
Is probably still running round the track
Like the marriage that I gambled on
I'm due my money back
We could've learned, we could've burned
From the firework love ignites
But that sparkler of romance
It proved impossible to light
If your country code or your green cross code
It can leave a lasting mark
History books have showed, follow safety code
And stamp out your final spark
Well the husband that I married once
I should've kept him in a cage
Kept him sitting waiting there
To show the tortoise middle-age
Cause you never back an animal
That struggles on two legs
I'd rather back a stray with three
Then one that sits up and just begs
Milk will curdle, cheese go off
Expensive wine mature
Kids grow up, parents down
Husbands turn to tragic bore
Receipts and life insurance all very well
But don't fully cover hate
So you can't return this idiot
When he's past his sell-by-date
Well the dice that I roll Never seems to land on six And that 48 card pack Is short of some of my old tricks The horse I bet on all those years ago Is probably still running round the track Like the marriage that I gambled on I'm due my money back We could've learned, we could've burned From the firework love ignites But that sparkler of romance It proved impossible to light If your country code or your green cross code It can leave a lasting mark History books have showed, follow safety code And stamp out your final spark Well the husband that I married once I should've kept him in a cage Kept him sitting waiting there To show the tortoise middle-age Cause you never back an animal That struggles on two legs I'd rather back a stray with three Then one that sits up and just begs Milk will curdle, cheese go off Expensive wine mature Kids grow up, parents down Husbands turn to tragic bore Receipts and life insurance all very well But don't fully cover hate So you can't return this idiot When he's past his sell-by-date Explain Request ×
