To think, it was going so well
We'd go out at night, come home and fight like hell
Good fights about big things
You know, just pushing around in the dark

To think, I was scared to open the box
New love on the doorstep, isn't it funny? There's nothing on how it works
Go on, have a look inside
You won't know what you did without it

Well, you slept, you met interesting people
And you slept with them
I'm up against the wall now
Yeah, I'm up against the wall

Hotel room, a silent phone
A packet of fags, a bottle of wine, a suitcase you call your own
When the darkness comes from the inside out
Even the barmen are pricks

Vitriol, the cigarettes
A long night of thinking and the search for the best vignettes
Yeah, well, it was good, wasn't it?
Then it got bad

Some say, love, it only comes once in a lifetime
Well, once is enough for me
She was one in a million, yeah
So there's five more, just in New South Wales

There's a show on the television now
A man in the jungle with monkeys, he's saying, we've come so far

I'd better go and evolve now

Yeah, to think it was going so well
We'd go out at night, come home and fight like hell
Good fights about big things
Like, "Who wrote the book on men?" Well, it was me

Yeah, I'm up against the wall now
Yeah, I'm up against the wall now

Some say, love, it only comes once in a lifetime
Well, once is enough for me
She was one in a million, yeah
So there's five more, just in New South Wales

Well, you slept, you met interesting people
And you slept with them
Yeah, I'm up against the wall now
Yeah, I'm up against the wall now

I'm afraid to say, I must fail her
I must fail her, I must fail her
I must fail her

You met interesting people and and you slept with them
I'm up against the wall now, I'm up against the wall now
I'm afraid to say, I'm afraid to say
I'm afraid to say, I must fail her

I'm really growin' old now
I'm really growin' old now
