Story Behind The Song

Most break-ups are not the amiable affairs that we would wish for. This one tells it like it is. Using a lyric device of covering the "dirty" word with an acceptable one, the message is still delivered subliminally. Great hook.

Song Description

an easy going tune underlies a biting, sardonic tale of love gone sour.

Lyrics

DARLIN?, I WISH YOU THE WORST


THE MEM?RIES OF OUR TIME(S) TOGETHER

THERE WERE SOME FINE ONES, I ADMIT.

YOU PROMISED YOU?D BE MINE FOREVER,

WELL, THAT WAS JUST A CROCK O? (SHIT).



SIT RIGHT DOWN HERE AND I?LL TELL YOU

THE WORDS I SPEAK ARE STRAIGHT AND TRUE.

DON?T THINK THAT I AM SAD OR BITTER.

WITH ALL MY HEART I SAY (FUCK) BLEEP YOU.



DARLIN?, I WISH YOU THE WORST.

NO TORTURE COULD BE BAD ENOUGH FOR YOU.

I?D FACE THE SPANISH INQUISITION, AN ENEMA OR TWO

BEFORE I?D FACE A LIFETIME WITH YOU.



(DESCANT: BITCH, WHORE, SLUT, TRAMP)

YOU KNOW, IT?S FAIR TO SAY THAT YOU?VE UPSET ME.

WELL DON?T WORRY, ?CUZ IN TIME MY ANGER, IT WILL PASS.

SO TAKE YOUR CLOTHES AND ALL THIS CRAP AND DON?T FORGET YOUR

GOLDFISH.

DON?T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE (ASS).



AS YOU WALK ON OUT OF MY LIFE

I WISH I COULD SAY THAT IT?S BEEN FUN.

BUT AFTER THE SIX LONG YEARS I?VE WASTED

I?D RATHER WAKE UP WITH ATILLA THE HUN.



DARLIN?, I WISH YOU THE WORST.

YOU SHOULD BE TARRED AND FEATHERED ON THE RACK.

MY WORDS MAY SEEM EXTREME, (HE?S PISSED)

PERHAPS A LITTLE TERSE,

BUT DARLIN? I WISH YOU THE WORST.


(PIANO SOLO)


DARLIN?, I WISH YOU THE WORST.

YOU LIED YOU CHEATED, STABBED ME IN THE BACK.

YOUR CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR (SHE?S WHACKED)

IS VERY WELL REHEARSED,

SO DARLIN?, I WISH YOU THE WORST.

YES, DARLIN?, I WISH YOU THE WORST.
