" ...only to be rediscovered some years hence and acclaimed as a flawed but magnificent work of genius long after I have succumbed to a tragic, unrecognised and untimely death."

From: "How To Build An Empire"

Bar Trip (What Has Changed?)

You couldn't take your eyes off him
You never even heard me call you name
You even planned your bar-trip just to go and meet him
I dread to think the words I saw you say
Tell me, what has changed?

You were wild when I first met you
But I thought you'd settled down as we got on
You know damn well he'll only love and leave you
Turn around one day and he'll be gone
Tell me, what went wrong


If he loves you, if he cares
Why's he sat there on those comfy chairs
If he loves you, if he's keen
Why's he going home with his family
Prob'ly the same reason why you're coming home with me


I'd love to make you happy
Love to get our marriage back on song
I appreciate of late that something's lacking
I can't believe that's why you're carrying on

If it's thrills that you're after
We can got to Alton Towers for the day
But if you're seeking love and affection
Don't you think I'm seeking the same
Tell me, what has changed


If he touches you, if he tries
I might not be responsible for what I'm like
If he tries it and won't let you be
I might not be as noble as I ought to be
You might just see the action that you seem to want to see


You couldn't take your eyes off him
You never even heard me call you name
You even planned your bar-trip just to go and meet him
I dread to think the words I saw you say
Tell me, what has changed

You were wild when I first met you
But I thought you'd settled down as we got on
You know damn well he'll only love and leave you
Turn around one day and he'll be gone
Tell me, what went wrong?
