Our Mutual Friend - The Divine Comedy

Yeah, I'm in therapy, shut up, I know (Ain't she so crazy?) I know, bitch Our mutual friend said you'd been calling And said that you're sorry and said that you wish we could talk Well, guess what? You're about seven months late Our mutual friend don't know that you're too self-serving But I do, and that's why your words don't mean shit And guess what? This heartbreak morphed into hate And you should be grateful that I didn't hurt you back If you died tomorrow, I don't think I'd cry I gave you one too many nights Don't care if it sound cold, it is what it is And if you died tomorrow, I don't think I'd cry I gave you one too many nights Don't care if it sound cold, it is what it is Our mutual friend had front row tickets to all our events Every time that you played all your games Well, guess what? I got nеw hobbies these days, yeah And nеver again will I let you turn me back into a mess That girl's been on a carton of milk And guess what? Your karma's that you love me still, whoa And you should be grateful that I didn't hurt you back But if you died tomorrow, I don't think I'd cry I gave you one too many nights Don't care if it sound cold, it is what it is And if you died tomorrow, I don't think I'd cry I gave you one too many nights Don't care if it sound cold, it is what it is, oh Yeah, our mutual friend Asked me how I sleep with so much hate in my heart I told them I sleep like a baby Told them I sleep like a baby, yeah If you died tomorrow, I don't think I'd cry I gave you one too many nights Don't care if it sound cold, it is what it is, yeah, yeah And if you died tomorrow, I don't think I'd cry I gave you one too many nights Don't care if it sound cold, it is what it is, yeah, yeah And if you died tomorrow, I don't think I'd cry I gave you one too many nights Don't care if it sound cold, it is what it is

I shuffle around The tectonic plates In my chest You know I gave it all Trying to match our continents To change seasonal shift To form a mutual core As fast as your fingernail grows The Atlantic ridge drifts To counteract distance You know I gave it all Can you hear the effort Of the magnetic strife? Shuffling of columns To form a mutual core This eruption undoes stagnation You didn't know that I had it in me Withheld your love, an unspent capsule I didn't know you had it in you You hid the key to our continuity I didn't know you had it in you This eruption undoes stagnation You didn't know, you didn't know What you resist persists Nuance makes heat To counteract distance I know you gave it all Offered me harmony If things were done your way My Eurasian plate subsumed Forming a mutual core This eruption undoes stagnation You didn't know I had it in me Withheld your love, an unspent capsule I didn't know you had it in you This eruption undoes stagnation You didn't know I had it in me This eruption undoes stagnation You didn't know, you didn't know

Postcards and letters T-shirts and sweaters Passports and Parkas Mobiles and chargers Two tennis rackets Blue Rizla packets A new sheep-skin jacket I lost it all All through my life there have been Many rare and precious things I have tried to call mine But I just cannot seem To keep hold of anything For more than a short time Possessions of a sentimental kind They were mine, now they're not Gym-kits and trainers Asthma inhalers Silk-cuts and Bennies Ten-packs and twenties C-class narcotics Antibiotics The holes in my pockets I lost it all All that I'd like is to know Just where do those lost things go? When they slip from my hands Then one night in a dream I passed through a sheepskin screen To a green, pleasant land I found them all piled up into the sky And I cried tears of joy

It was not that long ago it first occurred to me That my mother was a person in her own right And now I realize how very lucky I have been And there, but for the grace of God, go I, go I Mother dear, she can see inside Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide Mother dear, did I spoil your plans? Mother dear, I do the best I can When I was a teenager, I really did believe That my parents had adopted me And the way I carried on they must have thought They'd brought the wrong little baby home from maternity Well, I'd like to say I'm sorry but my Mother dear, she already knows Mother dear, she'll never let me go Mother dear, kept me warm and safe Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear If I ever get arrested by the C.I.A. Because they take me for a foreign spy They won't need no lie-detector, all they'll have to do Is make me look into my mother's eyes And I'll tell them anything they like Mother dear, she can see inside Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide Mother dear, kept me warm and safe Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear Mother dear, mother dear My mother dear Mother dear, did I spoil your plans? Mother dear, I do the best I can

Give me your love And I'll give you the perfect lovesong With a divine Beatles bassline And a big old Beach Boys sound I'll match you pound for pound Like heavy-weights in the final round We'll hold on to each other So we don't fall down Give me a wink And I'll give you what I think you're after With just one kiss I will whisk you away To where angels often tread We'll paint this planet red We'll stumble back to our hotel bed And make love to each other 'Til we're half dead Maybe now you can see Just what you mean to me Give me your love And I'll give you the perfect lovesong Give me your word That you'll be true to me always come what may Forever and a day No matter what other people may say We'll hold on to each other 'Til we're old and grey
