Beautiful South - Final Spark Lyrics
Well the dice that I roll never seems to land on sixAnd that 48 card pack is short of some of my old tricksThe horse I bet on all those years agoIs probably still running round the trackLike the marriage that I gambled onI'm due my money back, I'm due my money backWe could've learned, we could've burned from the firework love ignitesBut that sparkler of romance proved impossible to lightIf your country code or your green cross codeIt can leave a lasting markHistory books have showed follow safety codeAnd stamp out your final sparkWell the husband that I married onceI should've kept him in a cageKept him sitting waiting thereTo show the tortoise middle-ageCause you never back an animal that struggles on two legsI'd rather back a stray with three than one that sits up and just begsThan one that sits up and just begsWe could've learned, we could've burned from the firework love ignitesBut that sparkler of romance proved impossible to lightIf your country code or your green cross codeIt can leave a lasting markHistory books have showed follow safety codeAnd stamp out your final sparkWe could've learned, we could've burned from the firework love ignitesBut that sparkler of romance proved impossible to lightIf your country code or your green cross codeIt can leave a lasting markHistory books have showed follow safety codeAnd stamp out your final sparkMilk will curdle, cheese go off, expensive wine matureKids grow up, parents down, husbands turn to tragic boreReceipts and life insurance all very well, but don't fully cover hateSo you can't return this idiot when he's past his sell-by dateMilk will curdle, cheese go off, expensive wine matureKids grow up, parents down, husbands turn to tragic boreReceipts and life insurance all very well, but don't fully cover hateSo you can't return this idiot when he's past his sell-by date
