" ...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"

Damage is Done

My wife's away for the whole weekend
I didn't think I'd hear from you again
So you've reared your pretty head
And you need some help

Your looks can't help you on the phone
And all your pleadings leave me cold
I've a new love of my own
You ought to know

The vicious way you hurt me
I thought it was the end
When in one fell swoop I lost my love
My woman and my friend

You laughed at me, you cheated me
Now you've come to patch it up
And I'd say, whoa
The damage is done

I was done, I was hit
I was duffed and cuffed and out of it
From the heights of your fine midst
I was in bits

She came along, she took me on
She showed me I could be someone
She'd the strength to draw upon
To carry on

The longer she stood by me
The more that I'd find
That you, who'd been the centre
Slipped further from my mind

She laughed at you, she mimicked you
And I learned to laugh along
And I'd find, whoa
The damage undone

Now you're back, now you're here
I can hear you whisper in my ear
I should trust my inner fear
And steer clear

But something stops me hanging up
When I always told myself I would
The depths of my old love
Is welling up

I cling onto the table
As my head begins to swim
And I look back and remember
How you once meant everything

While I try to fight, I try to hate
It does me no good
Cause sadly, whoa
The damage is done
