When she leaves me,
It will be a cloudy day,
There'll be a little rain,
A few patches of blue sky,
and trains on the Northern line will be delayed because of signal failure.
And children will dream of the weekend,
And my neighbor's cat will sit on my back porch.
When she leaves me,
I'll be wearing scruffy trainers,
With paint on the side,
And mud caked underneath.
I'll have some mild toothache on the right side of my mouth,
And I'll probably need a shave.
The government will say they didn't do something that they probably
actually did.
And Mark might phone me like he does each day and I might pretend to be
not in.
But when she leaves me
But when she leaves me
But when she leaves me
But when she leaves me
I will not try to understand
When she leaves me,
The rusty car outside my house will still be there.
with four parking tickets and a busted windscreen.
And at midday I might take a walk, stretch my legs, get some air, feel
the wind.
I will see the retarded girl with the baseball cap,
who walks up and down the market with a bunch of plastic flowers,
I will eat in a greasy spoon, regret it, then walk home.
But when she leaves me
But when she leaves me
But when she leaves me
But when she leaves me
I will not try to understand
