Composed by P.D. Hamilton & A.A. Thomson.

lyrics

v.
(lyric: p.d. hamilton, 2006)

you say we were made for each other
but that's not entirely true
no-one else in the world wants us
it's them v. me and you

chorus:
births, weddings, funerals
it's all written in the cards
this is the town where the boys are easy
and all the girls are hard

i'm not even sure i know you at all
your wide-eyed innocence
could be a convenient smokescreen
for shut-mind ignorance

chorus

the king of the bores in the flat downstairs
listens for the squeak of bedsprings
a drum roll of boots clatter up the stairs
and the bloody doorbell rings

chorus

i've no hidden past or guilty secrets
there are no beans to spill
no poetry ever comes to me
while i'm chained to the check-out till

keep us supplied with burgers and fries
beer and cigarettes
we'll roar away with saint george for the day
this is as good as it gets
this is as good as it gets
this is as good as it gets
