Chips

she was dancin' with me for two or three songs

i was doin' alright until he came along

now she's holdin' his hand and they walk out the door

it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go

cuser could have kept it under his hat

boasting that he spent all night in her flat

telling me things that i don't want to know

it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go

they were outside the chip shop, herself and his gills

i offered her a chip and i nearly got killed

she said "i'm a vegan, that smell gets up my nose"

it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go

(fast food late at night)

vinegar tears

salt in my wounds

and the ketchup like my poor bleeding heart

now i'm left standing out in the cold

just wondering where all them couples are goin'

my only companions on the way home

it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go

we've gone all post-modern or so they'd like us to think

but it's still a sliced-pan and a carton of milk

out for a pint with people ya know

and a big bag of chips and a burger to go

a big bag of chips and the burger's gone cold.......
