Chips

she was dancin' with me for two or three songs
i was doin' alright until he came along
now she's holdin' his hand and they walk out the door
it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go
cuser could have kept it under his hat
boasting that he spent all night in her flat
telling me things that i don't want to know
it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go
they were outside the chip shop, herself and his gills
i offered her a chip and i nearly got killed
she said "i'm a vegan, that smell gets up my nose"
it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go
(fast food late at night)
vinegar tears
salt in my wounds
and the ketchup like my poor bleeding heart
now i'm left standing out in the cold
just wondering where all them couples are goin'
my only companions on the way home
it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go
we've gone all post-modern or so they'd like us to think
but it's still a sliced-pan and a carton of milk
out for a pint with people ya know
and a big bag of chips and a burger to go
a big bag of chips and the burger's gone cold.......
