The Four Quangos is not a group, it's my wife, daughter and dog Toffee.
I like to write songs only when the inspiration comes in my head and therefore don't just churn them out.
We are a sporting family mine was boxing.
Words are like knives
They can spread happiness on your life
Or cut deep into your heart
Saying the right things is such an art
In interviews they can open up doors
Infect old wounds settle old scores
Hearing a good joke can make you laugh
Singing that old song while taking a bath
Can start wars or make a truce
Raising your stakes while holding a deuce
They say talk is cheap ,it's more like gold
Language helps you cross the threshold
Now imagine if words had not been invented
Would it be so lamented
No rude words about sex
You would get no tweets on X
Politicians would be all silenced
Or hate preachers condoning violence
Imagine Hitler having no speeches
Neither Goebbels or the other leeches
There would be no works of Shakespeare
No Romeo and Juliet or King Lear
A word is mightier than the pen there is no doubt
There would be no Bible for the devout
Not any lyrics for all the songs
No arguments no sing alongs
We would have only advanced to the dark ages
So thank God we have the word, but use them wisely you, sages
Now before I start to sound absurd
This is definitely my final word
I faced you with dry eyes
I'm immune to all your lies
Finding her here with you
Was the bolt out of the blue
I flashflooded all my tears
Washed away all my love, future crystal clear
Just leave and don't come back
Don't ring, cos I won't call back
Why did you ruin our life
Ten years have been your wife
That didn't mean a thing
You had to have your fling
We had all our years ahead
But you threw them away instead
Just leave and don't come back
Don't ring cos I won't call back
Maybe the devil took your heart
Or you were rotten from the start
I'd give you an Oscar for the part you played
Love turns to hate when you're betrayed
Hope she was worth all the pain
You'll never see me again
Just leave and don't come back
Don't ring cos I won't call back
Go and claim your prize
She can live with all your lies
She's a fool who I despise
Play the same hand with her
Then I can gloat and cheer
When you're caught out
And it's so very true
It's a case of déjà vu
Hear those words again...
When she says...
Just leave and don't come back
Don't ring cos I won't call back
Words are like knives
They can spread happiness on your life
Or cut deep into your heart
Saying the right things is such an art
In interviews they can open up doors
Infect old wounds settle old scores
Hearing a good joke can make you laugh
Singing that old song while taking a bath
