You Were Right

And you,

Were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery

Well the good things are never free

Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?

And I,

Was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe

Wipe the slime from off your sleeve

You could follow me for weeks

And I'm not going anywhere

Sometimes it's hard to love someone

Till the day that they are gone



And I

Just had a dream the other night

I was married to the Queen

And Madonna lived next door

I think she took a shine to me

And the kids were all grown up

But I had to turn her down

'Cos I was still in love with you



I'm turning Madonna down

I'm calling it my best move

I'll get her tickets to what she needs



I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died

And the night Jeff Buckley died

And the night Kurt Cobain died

And the night John Lennon died

I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone

And that was a lot of nights

And that was a lot of lives

Who lost the tickets to what they need?



And I

Was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life

Always hoped you'd be my wife

But I never found the time

For the question to arrive

I just disguised it in a song



And songs are never quite the answer

Just a soundtrack to a life

That is over all too soon

Helps to turn the days to night

While I was wrong and you were right



And this was a lesson learned

I'm happy to be your fool

And get you tickets to what you need



I'm turning the lights down low

I'm ready to make my move

I'll get you tickets to what you need
