The Bluetones Follow

Darling accomplice
Remember when all in this world
Felt like ours to mistreat?
A carpet of fawning and flashbulbs
Spread under our feet
We rightfully took up our places
Among the elite
Our odyssey out of obscurity
Almost complete

And our fate was sealed
When we made that deal
And the words on the page
May as well have been written in blood

Darling accomplice
I never believed for a moment
It ever would end
That we'd be in this shining example
Of bucking the trend
When every breath was a gift
Every stranger a friend
And all that we both had to do
Was keep making pretend

And our fate was sealed
When we made that deal
And the words on the page
May as well have been written in blood

And they wrung our necks
While we cashed our cheques
Til reality brought us both
Crashing to Earth with a thud

And our fate was sealed
When we made that deal
And the words on the page
May as well have been written in blood

And they wrung our necks
While we cashed our cheques
Til reality brought us both
Crashing to Earth with a thud
