Delicious

Said you were restless
I didn't like your dresses
Thought you would move
To another part of town

I got your message
Been sifting through the wreckage
For this excuse
We called a life

A DIY quickie slow divorce
Marriage vows broken on the rocks
Mine's a slice with a G&T
And here's to toast that you're leaving me

I will not cry 'til the fat lady sings
I cannot fly 'cause you've clipped my wings
Now you're the picture of my disgrace
So wipe that pretty smile off your face
I wouldn't say we were incomplete
I can't complain you were so discreet
Kept your liaisons to yourself
My soul's distraught now I'm getting out

You were delicious
Could never be malicious
Now you hold a knife
Up to my throat

Of its own volition
You took your ammunition
Came rushing through the air
Like a UFO

I cannot say that I learnt my lesson well
Mysterious ways got a lot to tell
Sure got a wicked sense of humour
You stick the knife in and twist it round

I will not cry 'til the fat lady sings
I cannot fly 'cause you've clipped my wings
Now you're the picture of my disgrace
So wipe that pretty smile off your face
I wouldn't say we were incomplete
I can't complain you were so discreet
Kept your liaisons to yourself
My soul's distraught now I'm getting out

I will not cry 'til the fat lady sings
I cannot fly 'cause you've clipped my wings
Now you're the picture of my disgrace
So wipe that pretty smile off your face
I wouldn't say we were incomplete
I can't complain you were so discreet
Kept your liaisons to yourself
My soul's distraught now I'm getting out
