The Loved Ones |
Don’t get smart or sarcastic |
He snaps back just like elastic |
Spare us the theatrics and the verbal gymnastics |
We break wise guys just like matchsticks |
What would the loved ones say |
(Your pride and joy is all blown up) |
What would the loved ones say |
(The bride and boy are barely grown up) |
You’re not my particular poison |
I’ve got nothing against you myself |
You could have been a danger to the boys and girls |
Now you’re a danger to yourself |
Oh what would the loved ones say |
What would the loved ones say |
Oh what would the loved ones say |
What would the loved ones say |
The ugly little dreams run round your bed |
The ugly little scenes you get the needle and no thread |
They stitched you up this time |
They say you’ll do |
They bitch about your pretty face turning ugly on you |
The butcher the baker and the baseline maker |
Say you can leave her I can take her |
You spend your whole life like a minute or two later |
One day its going to end sooner than greater |
What would the loved ones say |
(He'll be remembered young and pretty) |
What would the loved ones say |
(Now he’s a hit in every city) |
Now there’s a name we’ll never forget |
There’s one born every minute or two |
Don’t pin a medal on me yet |
They might be waiting for you |
Oh what would the loved ones say |
What would the loved ones say |
Oh what would the loved ones say |
What would the loved ones say |
