Final Spark

Beautiful South

Well the dice that I roll never seems to land on six


And that 48 card pack is short of some of my old tricks


The horse I bet on all those years ago


Is probably still running round the track


Like the marriage that I gambled on


I'm due my money back, I'm due my money back





We could've learned, we could've burned from the firework love ignites


But that sparkler of romance proved impossible to light


If your country code or your green cross code


It can leave a lasting mark


History books have showed follow safety code


And stamp out your final spark





Well the husband that I married once


I should've kept him in a cage


Kept him sitting waiting there


To show the tortoise middle-age


Cause you never back an animal that struggles on two legs


I'd rather back a stray with three than one that sits up and just begs


Than one that sits up and just begs





We could've learned, we could've burned from the firework love ignites


But that sparkler of romance proved impossible to light


If your country code or your green cross code


It can leave a lasting mark


History books have showed follow safety code


And stamp out your final spark


We could've learned, we could've burned from the firework love ignites


But that sparkler of romance proved impossible to light


If your country code or your green cross code


It can leave a lasting mark


History books have showed follow safety code


And stamp out your final spark





Milk will curdle, cheese go off, expensive wine mature


Kids grow up, parents down, husbands turn to tragic bore


Receipts and life insurance all very well, but don't fully cover hate


So you can't return this idiot when he's past his sell-by date


Milk will curdle, cheese go off, expensive wine mature


Kids grow up, parents down, husbands turn to tragic bore


Receipts and life insurance all very well, but don't fully cover hate


So you can't return this idiot when he's past his sell-by date
