lyrics
When you left me, I really felt it.
When you left me, you made me feel like spit.
When you left me, I was out of luck.
It was clear to me that you didn’t give a truck.
And despite all the love songs I’ve heard,
Everything on the dial is absurd.
This whole situation smells like a dog turd
Cause love is a four-letter word.
I thought we had a future, I thought we might get hitched,
But I don’t want that any more cause you’re a total itch.
When you walked out on me I thought it was a stunt,
But I knew that you were for real when you called me James Blunt.
And despite all the love songs I’ve heard,
Everything on the dial is absurd.
This whole situation smells like a dog turd
Cause love is a four-letter word.
Now it’s the bridge, I can explain what I meant when I said that you didn’t give a truck
And I can see this’ll be a messy separation and boy, do I feel like a schmuck.
When I incorporated my freight haulage business, I made you a signatory partner
And although at the time it seemed like a sensible business decision, in retrospect I could have been smarter
Because you have the authority to sell chattels of the firm under the terms of the partnership agreement,
And although I was dimly aware that that clause was in there, I really didn’t think that you’d seen it,
Even though at the time I signed the contract my lawyer warned me that it was not watertight, it was porous.
But enough of this case study of companies and contracts law, it’s time to go back to the chorus!
And despite all the love songs I’ve heard,
Everything on the dial is absurd.
This whole situation smells like a dog turd
Cause love, love, L.O.V.E. is a four-letter word.

Awesome track! I also love the "tribute" at the end to that old D&D audio, genius!
