You're My Waterloo

  • You'll never fumigate the demons
    No matter how much you smoke
    So just say you love me
    For three good reasons
    And I'll throw you the rope

    You don't need it
    Because you are the survivor
    Of more than one life
    And you're the only lover I had
    Who ever slept with a knife

    But you're not Judy Garland
    Oh just like me you've never really had a home of your own
    But I'm not Tony Hancock, baby
    Until the dawn
    We'll stone the crows
    We'll stone the crows
    We'll stone the crows

    And you see I've brought you flowers
    I've brought you flowers all collected from the Old Vic Stage
    Well I've been sitting here for hours, baby
    Just chasing these words across the page

    You're my Waterloo
    Well I'll be your Gypsy Lane
    I'm so glad we know just what to do
    And exactly who's to blame

    And you're my Waterloo
    I'll be your Stanley Park
    Well I'm so glad we know just what to do
    And no one's left
    Stumbling around
    Tumbling around
    Fumbling around In the dark

    Always in the dark
    Always in the dark
    Always in the dark

    You're my Waterloo
    I'll be your Calvary
    I'm so glad we know just what to do
    And everyone's gonna be happy
    Everyone's gonna be happy
    Everyone's gonna be happy
