Since You Kicked Me Out

I love what you've done with your hair
since you kicked me out
I love what you've done with the wallpaper
since you kicked me out
I love what you've done with your lovers and pets,
with your furniture and finances.
I love what you've done with your neighbourhood
and everything since
and everything since
and everything
everything
everything
everything
since you kicked me out!

I love what you've done with the tone of your skin
since you kicked me out
I love what you've done with your parents
since you kicked me out
I love what you've done with my chandelier
the quality of wine and your musical taste
I love your new dresses
you've thrown out the messess
since you kicked me
since you kicked me
since you kicked me out!

Since you kicked me out
It's true that I've fallen on harder times
I like to drink meths now, it's cheaper than wine
and wear the same jacket and wear the same grime
and at my invisible in-laws I like to shout
and you know I still love you
and I know you don't care
because I've moved in
to a cardboard box
on the roundabout
infested with rats
and my friends are a one-legged pigeon named Keith
and a broken parking machine called Harold From Neighbours

Since
I recall the day clearly
you
I will toast the day yearly
kicked me out!
