my ex-girlfriend naked on the sand

a summer's day two years ago

when I was still her man

I was the expert then at takin' off her clothes

and that's all ancient history

and that's the way it goes



but I've been working on my keyboards

(yeah right)

practising guitar

and taking lots of bass lessons to expand my repertoire

and my new girlfriend my new girlfriend

my new girlfriend my new girlfriend

my new girlfriend my new girlfriend

my new girlfriend my new girlfriend

my new girlfriend's boyfriend's got a band
