Lyrics The Divine Comedy

The Divine Comedy

A Feather in Your Cap

A feather in your cap, an indent on your pillow

Something you can brag about to all your friends

A feather in your cap, a notch upon your bedpost

How did I compare? Marks out of ten?

A feather in your cap, a shining badge of honour

A tasty little snack to have between your meals

A name that you can add to your list of lovers

I only wish you had informed me of the deal

And though it hurts like hell it's not the end of the world

I won't come beating down your door

I should have known that you were only after one thing

I just expected something more

I hope that you'll forgive me if the next time we meet

I don't pretend to be ok

And if it makes you feel uncomfortable

You can always walk away

Just walk away…

A feather in your cap, a footnote in your memoir

A holiday snap at the bottom of a drawer

That one day you'll look at with just a tinge of sorrow

Throw it in the trash and get yourself a beer
