The Lucksmiths - Abdication! lyrics

It's only too clear And I know you hate to state the obvious But the houses round here Hold jumble sales and joblessness I always thought autumn was my favourite time of the year But I guess I'd forgotten How cold it can get when the sun disappears You sounded so sure That I'd come to your side when you came to your senses But we stood at the door And fought 'til your neighbours had come to their fences You called me a bad weather friend And I think that I know what you meant But your letters are all heaven sent The others I get are all from the government It's all part and parcel Of having next to nothing to do But if I was the king of the castle I'd throw away the throne for you
