lyrics

Shoulda been so simple
It shoulda been no regrets
Shoulda just gone on impulse
Let’s rewind the cassette
Shoulda lived straight up
Kept the garden nice
Shoulda had clean cars
Painted the fence white
Shoulda had one job
Learnt to do it right
Shoulda paid into pensions
Gone out on work nights
I mean do’s
Not weekdays
Chose the blues and green baize
Shoulda saved fifty pences
Bought her something expensive
I never meant for this to happen
She kept the dog
Me the terrapin
Whose days are numbered
A de-gift that I gave to Jean
On our first summer tryst
Almost forgotten
Had the one score and ten it’s allotted
Outlasted our marriage
I shoulda gone on less
About nose avoidance tilting
And niche sitcom jokes
During the mid-noughties

Shoulda talked more
Shoulda kept the passion
Shoulda been home
Hatching plans together
I took up fishing
Without any discussion
Always cooking up something
But never in the oven
I had get rich quick schemes
Fly by night dreams
One year I applied for all the
Literary prizes
And I don’t write
But I got shortlisted in
Five out of 75
It’s not plagiarism
If you’re taking the piss
Out of arts criticism
It’s a public service
I shoulda been a politician
Though really I shouldn’t
They’re mostly thugs in suits
Taking the loot
And looking after their cousins
I was always bugging out
Or changing the topic
Shoulda seen that I was out of order
No sons, no daughters
