Empty Lyrics

Don't get so distressed

If the good life won't arrive

You've been reading S.O.S.

When it's just your clock reading 5:05

And why are you so possessed

By the thought that she got free

And why are you figuring who's the best

When just your luck ran out

and she chose me

We do not lie side by side

and mock the thought of you

And I don't take her hand and ask

Is this what he used to do?

'Cos I just want to free her from

Your jails of jealous dreams

'Cos at least a house when it's empty

Stays clean

I won't pretend

That I was simply swayed

It was a two way thing not a

Three day fling

No secrets kept, no truth betrayed

And here's the house that held

The nightmare that went on

And you're sitting there wishing you'd never been born

With that self-inflicted crown of thorns

We do not lie side by side

and mock the thought of you

And I don't take her hand and ask

Is this what he used to do?

'Cos I just want to free her from

Your jails of jealous dreams

'Cos at least a house when it's empty

Stays clean

I won't pretend

That I'm the saviour of the innocent and bad

But put two withered old blooms in a couple of rooms

And they'll behave like lunatics

and crave what makes them sad

So here's a card that says

Happy twenty-second birthday and I wish you were dead

And here's a house that held

a bevy of devils and an angel as well

And you want what I've got

When all I've got is guilt

And a room that won't stay still

Filled with pockets full of crumpled up money and

a mantelpiece littered with bills

'Cos at least a house when it's empty

Stays clean
