Lyrics
Darling, Be Gone Soon
Verse
You've plundered our bank accounts
Gloomy Ship Ahoy
You've turned our fearsome guard dog into a toy
The only thing for me now
That would be a boon
Darling,, Oh Darling, Be Gone soon
Chorus
Why didn't you leave me when you could,
Especially when you said that you would,
You falsely raised my hopes
Like a boxer on the ropes
I'm battered and bruised blue
Be gone soon
Verse
You've broken my resistance
You've finally worn me down
Psychiatrists call me whenever I'm town
The only thing that would make me
Change my tune
Darling, Oh sweet darling,
Be gone soon
So, please can you get yourself a life
I won't even pull out the knife,
Won't miss that gaping mouth
I hope you're heading south,
But what would make me whistle or croon
Darling, be gone soon
