That’s not what I meant to say

The man said water and electricity don’t mix
And that’s just one more broken heart you can’t fix
I sat and watched your dreams go up in smoke
And then you go home and find out the telly’s broke
Use your common sense lad
Stop sitting on the fence and
Someday you will give a what for
You can’t live by hiding from sods law
Instrumental
Got plenty of skeletons in my closet
That’s what he said or was it
You hope no one knows it
So I chose to ignore it and
Chorus …
That’s not what I meant to say
She won’t change her mind and neither will they
There all gonna move so far away
So fuck them all it’s not your fault
Let someone else do the time for life’s assault
Tears blood and sweat shape careers
And afterwards he was in the pub with the beers
I thought it was outstanding
that he just got a round in
She’ll suffer in silence and
she’ll think it’s an act of defiance and
That’s not what I meant
I’ll have to see her name in foot high letters
before things get any better
she’s full of ambition and
that was her decision
she’s determined to achieve her mission
and I can’t do anything to help her
Chorus …
That’s not what I meant to say
She won’t change her mind and neither will they
There all gonna move so far away
So fuck them all it’s not your fault
Let someone else do the time for life’s assault
Ive not got friends in high places ive just got friends
And eventually that broken heart it mends
Im so far borderline
Out of my arse the sun will shine
