" ...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: 'Pop Happenings Vol 4'

Only a Matter of Time

By the hair of my chin, there's something amiss
It could be that you're cheating on me
Making my life a veritable mess
I beg of you, don't give in
Though it hurts, though you might feel as desperate as sin
But it's only a matter of time


You say that there's nothing in it, who are you trying to kid?
I don't believe in matching his and her, platonic boy and girl relationships
They always end up in bed
Sure as eggs, always sex rears its ugly head
Yes, it's only a matter of time


Never doubt I'm in love with you
Though it hurts, you'll be making amends
Never doubt if it ever should happen again
Never doubt, never doubt, never doubt it's the end


Should have seen it coming, should have known from the start
They woo you and pursue you and you can't leave them alone once the flattery starts
You can always tell them to go
Don't forget, there's a word in every language means 'no'
It's only a matter of time


I never thought that you'd do what you did
I never thought that you'd do it, but you did
Never thought you'd have so much to confess
I'm sorry, this self-pity, but girl you leave me helpless


Sounds corny, I know, but I've been crying in my sleep
I'd take pleasure in seeing him hurt, I won't fight and I won't compete
It's either him or its me
I won't rest till this whole sordid business is history
Till its only a matter of time


Never doubt I'm in love with you
Though it hurts, you'll be making amends
Never doubt if it ever should happen again
Never doubt, never doubt, never doubt it's the end
