lyrics

Christ on a bike! He's dropping hints like the N-bomb
Telling all your friends like it's a dirty secret,
And yet you're coy like a nun, shaved like a South American (mustache an' all)
You turned the boy you loved into the man you hate
Our faces have been too close of late
We go out more now than we did when we were.... 'aquainting'.
So you've got a new 'aquaintance', I'd like to say I'm not jealous, so I'll say I'm not jealous,
But like Mr Plus-One that's clearly not enough for you, is it?
You show committment to everything you do
From draghunt to cockhunt, you won the battle but I still lost the war, I don't think I know you anymore.

You're not my only exgirlfriend!
But lucky for you, you're unique, 'cuz I don't think I need to pretend I don't love you anymore

Fair enough, it's easy for me to judge
Landlocked in love and I like it
Haven't tasted brine in a long time.
And from where I'm stood, it's like you're one in an archipelago, strung out from the shore
To pursue this dubious metaphor...
And the ground we found ourselves sharing when our cities were twinned has long stopped caring
And the differences we used to celebrate are just starting to grate.
Now look at us: I'm all mouth and no trousers, you're all actions, no answers
We learnt no lessons, we're characitures of our adolescence

You're not my only exgirlfriend!
But lucky for you, you're unique, 'cuz I don't think I need to pretend I don't think about you anymore.
