[Intro]
[Verse 1}
Me and my lawyer sat down and worked out
The full cost of the wrongs I have done you
And I m sending the money to you
The cheque s in the post
For giving you hell
When I should have been treating you well
Reparation: five hundred five pound notes in a roll
[Bridge 1]
For remarks about your weight
For complaining when you were late
Compensation: two thousand pounds, the going rate
For the times we were out
And my eye kept roving about
Settling on younger women: Fifteen hundred, say it s
Forgiven
[Chorus 1]
Running total: six thousand three hundred and fifty
Pounds
With tax added on
And that s just the end of verse one
For attacking your superstition
Your pantheistic new age religion
Let s say the sum of one thousand seven hundred and
Ninety seven
[Bridge 2]
When I said your new dress wasn t splendid
When I told you the way the film ended
I guess I was wrong, accept this token: seven thousand
Pounds
And for passing the pictures I d taken
Of your body totally naked
Around all our friends, let s call it a round nine
Thousand pounds
[Chorus 2]
Running total: twenty four thousand one hundred and
Forty seven pounds
On it s way to you
And this is just the end of verse two
[Verse 2]
Me and my lawyer sat down and worked out
The real cost of the wrongs I have done you
And I m sending the money to you
The cheque s in the post
And for my next indiscretion
When we had sex on the floor of the kitchen
I sang it in a song: accept ten thousand - make that
Eleven thousand - pounds
[Bridge 3]
And for failing to give enough time
To the baby that could have been mine
It s not that I don t care, my love, it s just so hard
To find a figure
[Chorus 3]
Worst of all I stopped loving your body
Making you feel so low
Though my lawyer says no blame can be apportioned
For cirtances beyond my control
So now I m all paid up
And absolved from this guilt
I m going to get another girl in
Under my quilt
And run up
Another massive debt
[Outro]
Hail Mary
Pray for me now
Now and at the hour of my death.
(Ba-ba-da ba-ba-da ba-ba-da)
