On a Hotel Wall

Feel like baby Berthe half the time

Know that you will

Do your worst and I'll do mine

Know that you say

Things that happened in a former life

I hold onto, tight

And you're not the body type

Alright, you win...

Don't be surprised

'Cos he was so in love

Yeah he was so in love

Performance art with broken necks

His imagination killed his interest in sex

It's no great big waste

Pretense preserved for a well-read guy

Who's chosen the day

You know he's not the type

To hang on and wait

Don't be surprised

'Cos he was so in love

Yeah he was so in love

Dear God, I'm sure

Things I wish I'd have known before

Wouldn't help anyway this time

As she's all enthralled

While they paint her face on a hotel wall

Didn't wait either way this time
