Abdication! Lyrics

Abdication! - The Lucksmiths

It's only too clear

 

And I know you hate to state the obvious

 

But the houses round here

 

Hold jumble sales and joblessness

 

I always thought autumn

Was my favourite time of the year

 

But I guess I'd forgotten

 

How cold it can get when the sun disappears

 

You sounded so sure

 

That I'd come to your side

 

When you came to your senses

 

But we stood at the door

 

And fought 'til your neighbours

 

Had come to their fences

You called me a bad weather friend

 

And I think that I know what you meant

 

But your letters are all heaven sent

 

The others I get are all from the government

 

It's all part and parcel

Of having next to nothing to do

 

But if I was the king of the castle

 

 

I'd throw away the throne for you
