Mad Dog Days

Mad Dog Days - John Martyn

You sit in your room pretending to cry

Oh you seem so unwilling to try

Say what you're selling is just a lie

And know that your price is far too high

Every night and every day

I show you my picture you just throw the frame away

With all that you think you've got little to say

I can't look at your face any more

Oh the mad dog days

I say oh they're just mad dog days

In them mad dog days

I don't care if it's true

Between me and you

Can't see it through

Please let me say goodbye

I never get used to you

Oh no never could never get used to you

I never get used to you

I never get used to you

You don't see my dream I don't see your romance

You make me feel like a dancer but you don't care to

Dance

You see me hit the bottle you hit the sack

I go ratbag racing on the flat of my back

In these mad dog days

I call them mad dog days

I know them mad dog days

I don't care if it's true

Between me and you

Can't see it through

Oh please let me say goodbye

I never get used to you

Oh I never get used to you

Ooh I never get used to you

I never never never never get used to you

Cos you you keep sitting in your lonely little room

You never never never come out at all

You you keep sitting in your little darkened room

You're unwilling to try

Pretending to cry

You're telling a lie

Oh please just say goodbye

I never get used to you

I don't want to get used to you

I never get used to you

I never never no could never get used to you

Ah lord I never get used to you

With your crying

I never get used to you

Stop crying and lying

Oh I never get used to you

You know
