Since we parted my dear
I’ve been happy, it was worth it
Though I’ve had little but fears
Living hand-to-mouth oh yes I’m working now
And I’m a picture of pixellated health
Sent to remind you can no longer lord it over my health
But sometimes when I’m paying for myself
I wish that you were still around to patronise my…
Oh oh oh
Ohhh
Since we parted my dear
I’ve been smiling more than ever
And though it’s through gritted teeth
I wouldn’t have it any other, lord but
Sometimes it gets me down
When I look up from the bar
Half-way through a shift
With six hours to go
Then only five until tomorrow –
I guess that you’re laughing now
Oh oh oh
Ohhh
Heylaydeedee…laydeeohlo…ohh
Since we parted last year
I’ve been swimming in a circle
Ten bucks cash in hand
And on the nights I play
Maybe a beer from a fan yes
Sometimes it gets me down
When I look up from my guitar
Half-way through a song
To see some girly fold her hand
Upon the flush of a good man
Oh look who’s talking now…
Oh oh oh
Ohhh
Heylaydeedee…laydeeeee….deeeekeee….ohlaykeeelohh…ohohlaahhh
See what you did to me?
Ten years of freeloading!
Now I’ve gone got myself pickled from the inside out
’Cause in a rash moment I could break of your comfort…
Baby I should start
Crying now
Yeah life would’ve been easy
If you’d kept paying for my story
While I merely kept my figure
Tending to your morning glory
But I don’t think I lost somehow
Oh oh oh
Or that I’m losing now
Oh oh
No
