LAST HURRAH

Verse 1

So you chose to go

So you chose to go

So you chose to bugger off

So you chose to go

Limping heart and diamond ring

No one taught you anything

Reel around the kitchen floor

Dance across the bathroom door

See you gave surprise a go

Pre-Chorus 1

Last hurrah

This is your last best hurrah

Your last best and cruelest joke

Played on everyone you know

Chorus

Now you hear your name in a song

And know that every word’s wrong

You are so typical American

Reborn at every turn

Verse 2

So you chose to go

So you chose to go

So you chose to bugger off

So you chose to go

Pre-Chorus 2

such a dramatic so and so

You love that operatic pain and woe

Been looking for a valentine

You only wish that you could read the signs        

Chorus

Now you hear your name in a song

And know that every word’s wrong

You are so classical American

Reborn at every turn

Don’t stop now

You always were the clever one

A long, slow burn

A heartache at every turn
