Lyrics

flogging a dead horse

it took a lot for you to say
you couldn?t carry on this way
I think it?s true
it?s run its course
there?s no point flogging this dead horse

had it been another day
I don?t think I?d have cared at all
never mind that you?re a mess
I?m alright Jack I must confess

you took me for a clown
you kicked me while I?m down
you went and told me ?it?s the end?
so I spent the night with your best friend

what I want is what I?m not
I?m never happy with what I?ve got
when I get it I don?t want it
I?m so sorry but it?s over

you should have been there
haven?t you heard?
the wheels came off it crashed and burned
you?ve had your chance
my beautiful friend
it?s time to hide the knives again

I didn?t ever think that you
would turn out to be so untrue
if you can?t be with the one you love
love the one you pay enough

I didn?t need to make it known
I?m sure you?ll guess when you get home
you didn?t know you left your key
I doused the petrol liberally

I?m so happy now it?s over
