lyrics

I haven’t read your book
It’s sitting on my desk
It’s where it’s been for days
You say I put the words in your mouth
And you had to get them out somehow
I didn’t think you meant in a bestseller

It was my journey we were on,
You invited yourself along -
An unwanted chaperone
You knew I meant to write it down
But you did it first and now
I see the extracts in the paper telling me

The same words, the same story
The same fear you wrote it for me
The same names, narration,
The same sorry situation

And after all is said, it’s nice to have a history
