lyrics

Let's Skip to the Good Bit

Sometimes there are days I can do no wrong
Everything is great and we get along
Then there are the days when I'm quite the opposite
All I do is selfish, vain and incompetent

Only trouble is I can't tell which is which
Baffled and bewildered I stumble and twitch
Never knowing whether I'll be good as gold
Or cast out in the dog house begging:

Let's skip to the good bit
Let's skip to the spot where you think I'm great
Let's skip to the good bit honey
Let's skip to the part where I'm just first rate

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Some days it's all cool and I'm good as gold
She tells me I'm an angel, dinner doesn't get cold
other days I'm hopeless and it's thrown to the dog
Who can't believe his luck, grabs my chop and runs off

So hungry and confused I retire to my den
To weather out the storm and live to breathe again
Try to make sense of all this Venus and Mars stuff
But all that comes into my mind is

Chorus

I need to buy a gizmo that reads the female mind
A special kind of Kindle designed to save mankind
A one eyed wizard able to lead all of us men
Away from here: the valley of the blind

Thinkin

Well I’ve been thinking
Thinkin that I’d better get better
Better at bein a bit better
Whenever, She needs me

And I’ve been thinking
Thinking bout writing her a letter
Writing her a letter just to let her
Know forever that I care

Thinkin bout all the times I wasn’t there
Thinkin bout all the times I didn’t care
Thinkin bout all the times I was unfair
Times I vanished in thin air
Disappeared to God knows where

And I’ve been thinking
Thinking bout maybe just quittin
Quitin my lying and drinkin
And thinking about her

Well I’ve been thinking
Thinking bout her and maybe whether
whether we’ll just talk about the weather
or whether she’ll keep me
And maybe whether I’ll be better than I’ve been
Oh yeah whether I’ll be better when she needs me
