no honest I'm not a bad loser! just where was that printing machine hidden anyway? a fruity very close family thing obviously!

v1
I tried taking it home with me
I tried leaving it completely
I tried losing a lot of sleep
I tried living from week to week
I tried everything I could
see the trees and not the wood
I tried planning a great revenge
I tried planning a great revenge

chorus
But life is too short and the day is too long
I was put on report though I did nothing wrong
there's a time and a place if you want it to be
stop bothering me

v2
we tried to be the very best
we yearned for some interest
but that's just not the way it is
it's not that simple in this biz
an envelope, a quiet word
a handshake and a classy bird
we tried to be all grown up
we tried to be all grown up

chorus

v3
envelope, quiet word
handshake, classy bird
welcome to our great revenge
this is our great revenge
