I know it's not like you two to do things by half But have me hunt and kill the fattest calf? To be the centrepiece of the biggest feast That this town has ever seen? And you're going to invite everyone you've ever known And sit amongst them all like the King and Queen enthroned And just because my brother's coming home? Oh yeah, There's going to be no expense spared, A free bar, we're going to feast on whole roasted suckling sows With apples in their mouths And there's going to be entertainment Like musicians and magicians there and A whole load of acrobats and various other circus acts All vaulting and somersaulting through the air. And all this for someone who said they didn't really particullary care. Who went off to seek his fortune elsewhere. Now he's coming back without a penny to his name. Someone who always played you like you were a game Who only ever called you up when he needed you to give him something And always knew you'd end up giving it and in to him. What about me...? To Be Continued... |
