Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti

it all went wrong when i grew jealous
I didn't realize my strength
Could take the life of one so precious
Together we were known as good friends

Did you ever read the words
That said love would end i read them tonight
Mistakes i can't defend
I didn't stop to think
And i upset her
I said good night tonight the last time forever
I think of her tonight
She keeps me from my sleep but what can i do
With all of these memories
I used to be so shy
And hide my temper
I've said good night tonight the last time forever

It all went wrong when i grew jealous
I didn't realize my strength
Could take the life of one so precious
Together we were known as good friends

Did you ever read the words
That say i love you i read them tonight
But what good can they do
I regret what i have done
It wasn't clever
I've said good night tonight the last time forever (x3)

She left in the middle of the night with the kids
Wrapped in a blanket with a packet of crisps
Heading for her mothers on another estate
The kids looked up at the light and the rain
In the middle of the night such adventures made
For two little kids staying up late
It was rainy and windy as winter was bleak
At four in the morning on king george street
She couldn't get to sleep where on earth had he gone
The door opened wide and the light went on
He was drunk as a lord with a tyre mark hat
Falling in the hall on top of the cat
Singing viva espana to a crying wife
He took a swing at the shade on the light
They were knocking on the doors dressed like refugees
In the pouring rain on king george street

She won't have that behaviour in her house any more
He's got to sober up or get kicked out of the door
Down on the corner the kids at his feet
As daddy comes home on king george street

They stood around the kettle and watched as it brewed
Sneezing into hankies hands all blue
The next evening he came around to the house
With a bunch of flowers they locked him out
He peered through the window
Mouthed words through the air
Her lips to a cup she saw him out there
The kids came running but were they happy to see
Their daddy back home on king george street

I'm faced with the facts
And a fist full of threats
I stand quite amused
At the end of the bed
I have no defense
For what i have said
As a handful of love
Whacks me right round the head
She's growling and stalking
And grabs from a pile
A book that she throws
And it missed by a mile
I'm holding a pillow
And as naked as sin
I'm backed to a corner
With a wastepaper bin
Then up on the mattress
There's no place to go
I'm guilty yes guilty
But there's no place like home

I rewind the hours
To see what went wrong
I plead for forgiveness
And i'm hit like a gong
It seems that i'm guilty
Of smiling too long
When recalling lovers
That now are long gone
I'm guilty you're guilty
So let me be stoned
The past is the present
When there's no place like home

Off with the shoes
And a whack round the head
Your ear rings like a phone
Some explanation
Might patch and mend
A love that's lost control
Now there's no place like home

Off to the airport to check in the bags
Proud of my suntan and good times i've had
Laying on beaches and writing out cards
Back to the humdrum and bashing out cars
Into the aircraft i look for my seat
A nervous tension builds inside me
Onto the runway i pretend i'm elsewhere
In minutes we're flying through the hot evening air
Down there toy town the twinkle of lights
The long white beaches of holiday time
Suddenly someone has pulled out a gun
His shout for attention has everyone stunned
Hands on our heads there's a new kind of fear
We're over the barrel with the hits of the year

Held up to ransom assured we'll be safe
The yellow ribbon comes out again
How many gods can there be in one sky
All so important and all so involved
Here on a trigger a disciple of fear
As we wait without knowing if we're hits of the year

When daylight appears
Through a crack in the curtain
I'm laying in bed
Staring up at the skirting
I'm alone in my room
But someone is turning the key in the door
And i wake up to find
It's still daylight outside
There's a taste in my mouth
Like the thoughts in my mind
And i wake up to find
That i left on the light the world can take a jump
I'm feeling like a lump when daylight appears
Through a crack in my mind
I won't ever go drinking again
When daylight appears
It's the third time around
And i swear i won't drink
Ever again with that crowd
What on earth did i say
Did i let the side down i've been guilty before
And i wake up to see
The old wonderful me
All naked and wrinkled
From knots in the sheets
And i get up to see
My hair like a tree
The world can shut the door
Because i'm feeling so sore when daylight appears with my eyes full of sleep
I won't ever go drinking again

Aaaaah how my head's like an anvil
Aaaaah go the sparks as i angle
Aaaaah goes the spray from the shower
How could i smell like a flower
When i feel like weed in the rain
I won't ever go drinking again

She's been good to me
And her aim is plain,
With an open mind
And a tender way.
As she looks through boxes of secondhand clothes
She's a first class person as her best friend knows.
She's been good to me
Helped me not to lie,
Listens to my words
And the truth she finds.
As i fell in love with my very best freind
I didn't realise that our friendship would end.
I learnt how to pray
Every night,
To relieve the pain
Deep inside.

I was serious with a furrowed brow
I just fell in love what do i do now?
As i fell in love with my very best friend
I didn't realise that our friendship would end.

It didn't work for us the lesson i learnt
The fire was lit and i got burnt.
And i fell in love with my very best friend
I didn't realise that our friendship would end.
