lyrics

It's our final second.
But now, wait a second.
Isn't this the second
time or the third
that you've made that claim?
Everything is still the same.

Even though you've said it,
we could still forget it.
And you know I'd let it
go and be happy
to let it slide
because I'm on your side.

You say you're leaving but you'll never go.
Why are you keeping up this to and fro?
If it don't feel right, the door's open wide.
But I know tonight you'll be by my side.

Your non-action's speaking
louder than the freaking
words your mouth is leaking
out. All about
how you're up and gone.
But you're still here to hear this song.

You say you're leaving but you'll never go.
Why are you keeping up this to and fro?
If it don't feel right, the door's open wide.
But you know tonight you'll be by my side.

So, swallow your pride
And be my bride.

So, why would you
put us both through
the trials and tribulations
of a trial separation
when, in the final summation,
you will see the situation
like I do?

You say you're leaving but you'll never go.
why are you keeping up this to and fro?
If it don't feel right the door's open wide.
But we both know you'll wind up by my side.

Who's making that racket?

Roger Cox played drums. Pete Donnelly played bass (and how and wow), Mike Frank played two pianos (and got to all those notes even though he thought he wouldn't), electric piano and the organ part that sounds more like a Moog. I felt guilty about only singing and playing acoustic guitar on the last tune, so I did those things on this one, but also played baritone and electric guitars, made pretend maraca noises with my mouth and real castanet noises with those cheater ones that are mounted on a board (thanks for the tip, John Anthony).
