To anyone who's followed me I offer my apologies I'm splitting up I can't afford to compromise With someone I don't recognise I'm splitting up The idea first occurred to me While shaving rather cautiously Cos I bleed easily My head is searating from my heart I'm splitting up The crocodiles will shed their tears While other reptiles sneer and jeer He's splitting up The notices, lest we forget Are posted on the internet He's splitting up I can't say I went out in style My differences unreconciled Embittered to the end Neither moving nor affecting All I'm doing is disconnecting I'm splitting up What's it all about? Haven't got a clue Only thing I know It isn't down to you To decide these things Still you carry on Still you scream and shout I know that it's wrong I haven't got the clout To deride these things But if my hearthad wings' I'd fly away To anyone who's followed me I offer my apologies I'm splitting up I'm feeling down I'm feeling down I'm splitting up I'm feeling down I'm feeling down I'm splitting up
