Final Spark |
| Well, the dice that I roll |
| Never seems to land on six |
| And that forty-eight card pack |
| Is short of some of my old tricks |
| The horse I bet on all those years ago |
| Is probably still running round the track |
| Like the marriage that I gambled on |
| I’m due my money back |
| I’m due my money back |
| We could’ve learned, we could’ve burned |
| From the firework love ignites |
| But that sparkler of romance |
| It proved impossible to light |
| If you’re country code or you’re green cross code |
| It can leave a lasting mark |
| History books have showed, follow safety code |
| And stamp out your final spark |
| Well, the husband that I married once |
| I should’ve kept him in a cage |
| Kept him sitting waiting there |
| To show the tortoise middle age |
| 'Cause you never back an animal |
| That struggles on two legs |
| I’d rather back a stray with three |
| Than one that sits up and just begs |
| Than one that sits up and just begs |
| We could’ve learned, we could’ve burned |
| From the firework love ignites |
| But that sparkler of romance |
| It proved impossible to light |
| If you’re country code or you’re green cross code |
| It can leave a lasting mark |
| History books have showed, follow safety code |
| And stamp out your final spark |
| Milk will curdle, cheese go off |
| Expensive wine mature |
| Kids grow up, parents down |
| Husbands turn to tragic bore |
| Receipts and life insurance all very well |
| But don’t fully cover hate |
| So you can’t return this idiot |
| When he’s past his sell by date |
| Milk will curdle, cheese go off |
| Expensive wine mature |
| Kids grow up, parents down |
| Husbands turn to tragic bore |
| Receipts and life insurance all very well |
| But don’t fully cover hate |
| So you can’t return this idiot |
| When he’s past his sell by date |
