Don't Marry Her, Fuck Me.
(or, "Don't Marry Her, Have Me)

Think of you with pipe and slippers
Think of her in bed
Laying there just watching telly
Then think of me instead

I'll never grow so old and flabby
That could never be
Don't marry her, fuck me

And your love light shines like cardboard
But your work shoes are glistening
She's a PhD in "I told you so"
You've a knighthood in "I'm not listening"

She'll grab your sweaty bollocks
Then slowly raise her knee
Don't marry her, fuck me

And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay
And you realise you can't make it anyway
You have to wash the car
Take the kiddies to the park
Don't marry her, fuck me

Those lovely Sunday mornings
With breakfast brought in bed
Those blackbirds look like knitting needles
Trying to peck your head

Those birds will peck your soul out
And throw away the key
Don't marry her, fuck me

And the kitchen's always tidy
And the bathroom's always clean
She's a diploma in "just hiding things"
You've a first in "low esteem"

When your socks smell of angels
But your life smells of Brie
Don't marry her, fuck me

And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay
And you realise you can't make it anyway
You have to wash the car
Take the kiddies to the park
Don't marry her, fuck me

And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay
And you realise you can't make it anyway
You have to wash the car
Take the kiddies to the park
Don't marry her, fuck me

You'll note a couple of changes... the above lyrics are not censored, the file below is the censored version.
"She'll grab your Sandra Bullocks"
"Don't marry her, have me"

Prettiest Eyes

Line one is the time
That you, you first stayed over at mine
And we drank our first bottle of wine
And we cried

Line two were away
And we both, we both had nowhere to stay
Well the bus-shelters always ok
When youre young

Now youre older and I look at your face
Every wrinkle is so easy to place
And I only write them down just in case
That you die

Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
Sixty 25th of decembers
Fifty-nine 4th of julys
Not through the age or the failure, children
Not through the hate or despise
Take a good look at these crows feet
Sitting on the prettiest eyes

Line three I forget
But I think, I think it was our first ever bet
And the horse we backed was short of a leg
Never mind

Line four in a park
And the things, the things that people do in the dark
I could hear the faintest beat of your heart
Then we did

Now youre older and I look at your face
Every wrinkle is so easy to place
And I only write them down just in case
You should die

Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
Sixty 25th of decembers
Fifty-nine 4th of julys
You cant have too many good times, children
You cant have too many lines
Take a good look at these crows feet
Sitting on the prettiest eyes

Well my eyes look like a map of the town
And my teeth are either yellow or theyre brown
But youll never hear the crack of a frown
When you are here
Youll never hear the crack
Of a frown

Sail This Ship Alone

If, if you choose that we will always lose
Well then Ill sail this ship alone
And if, if you decide to give him another try
Well then Ill sail this ship alone

Well they said if I wrote the perfect love song
You would take me back
Well I wrote it but I lost it
And now will you take me back anyway

Now if, if you insist that this is for the best
Well then Ill sail this ship alone
And if, if you swear that you no longer care
Well then Ill sail this ship alone

Ill sail this ship alone
Between the pain and the pleasure
Ill sail this ship alone
Amongst the sharks and the treasure
If you would rather go your way then go your way
Ill sail this ship alone

If, if youre afraid that I wont make the grade
Well then Ill sail this ship alone
And if, if you agree to him instead of me
Well then Ill sail this ship alone

Well they said if I wrote the perfect letter
That I would have a chance
Well I wrote it, and you burnt it
And now do I have a chance anyway

If, if you swear that you no longer care
Well then Ill sail this ship alone

Ill sail this ship alone
Between the pain and the pleasure
Ill sail this ship alone
Amongst the sharks and the treasure
If you would rather go your way then go your way
Ill sail this ship alone

Well they said if I burnt myself alive
That youd come running back

Ahuh.
