Dear Mol - Smokey Bastard

Dear Molly, my sweetheart

We’re coming undone at the seams

And all the dreams that we shared in the past

They’re not gonna last

They’re already half shattered and torn

Replaced by insufferable hatred and scorn

Well ya should’ve been warned

A long time before you let me through your door

Well from here on I’m not your concern

And you scent still remains in the bed where we lay

Where we promised each other we’d go to our graves

Having never betrayed or upset or dismayed

But ya threw all those promises away

And as soon as your gone, girl

I’m hitting the drink

I’ll get wasted and into my pit I will sink

But rejoice that for once

I’m not draggin' ya down with me too

‘cause I was doin' alright ‘til the day I met you

So hold on to your pride

‘cause I’m holding mine too

When I say that we’re neither to blame

And the sweet scent of you in the bed where we lay

Gets replaced by the stench of my drunken, decaying,

Festering, worthless and haggard old frame

And though I’m a fool, I won’t change.

Well ya knew this was comin' to ya one o' these days

There’s no hop for a wanker, so set in his ways

Did you really believe

That I’d stick this one out ‘til the end?

Well I’ve never beem more certain, Mol

And never more willing

To spend ev’ry last pissed up nightmare with you

‘cause now that you’re gone, girl

I’m drinkin' for two

So let these bedsores become my reminder of you

Oh, dear Molly, a reminder we’re through,

And you scent still remains in the bed where we lay

But it will slowly succumb to my own bitterness and rage

As I try to kid myself that I’m better off this way

And though I’m a fool I won’t change

And though I’m a fool I won’t change
