Well, she crept back in the house at half past three
Shook her head to see him snoring in his sleep
If you really loved me she said
I wouldn`t have to be so mean
He`s a heap of junk that pours from his top drawer
Sometimes likes to spread it out around the floor
It`s evidence of what he was like
He likes to remember when...
(chorus):
Sha la la, sha la la lo li
The end is growing near
We`re treading water now
And holding back our tears
And the day is rising
We`re sinking sha la la lo li
In a minute it will all be coming down
And they know it now but no one makes a sound
Such a shame to ruin this bright
Lazy summer day...
My my, the cruelest lies are often told without a word
My my, the kindest truths are often spoken, never heard
She said, You`ve been pushing me like I was a sore tooth.
You can`t respect me `cause I`ve done so much for you.
He said, Well I hate that it`s come to this
But baby I was doing fine. How do you think
That I survived the other 25 before you?
