It's never what you think you think
and always what you don't,
surprised to see me?
she says no.

We won't dwell long on things gone wrong
let us move to a house by the sea
we can spend our time catching fish
and drinking wine
and frying chips for the fish for our tea.

Because we still have a tea don't you know
some things are hard to let go of.

But it's never what you think
when
the drink takes a hold
no
it's never what you think at all.
