Man With Two Surnames Songtext
When I ask you where you've been You look suicidal One day I'm gonna lock you in a room With a bed that creaks and a bible Gonna wait til the wallpaper cracks I asked you for the truth We mean different things by that Maybe my attitude was lax But oh honey, I want you back To back with the guy Who couldn't lie About circumstances extenuating A little bird told me you've been mating Said nothing 'bout a man with two surnames Said nothing 'bout a man with two surnames How come you sold your new flat Can't you pay the rental Or maybe possessions mean nothing at all When you're getting transcendental Gonna make you an offer you can't resist Try to refuse me eye to eye It'll mean a good deal But not a goodbye I'll let you off the day I die Til then and there's no knowing when You look real good in his blue Ferrari Like Sylvia Kristel, Mata Hari And I'm haunted by a man with two surnames I'm driven round by a man with two surnames Get your name stuck on his windscreen Barclaycard and Visa I'll think of a girl I knew back when Said money could not please her Is his name double-barreled like my gun Or does he have a pseudonym for fun I'm stunned by your logic of all for none Maybe he's a rich man's number one son But he's made me number two No credit to you I'm sitting here freezing in this cold overdraft Last time I phoned you You both laughed And I'm haunted by a man with two surnames And I'm haunted by a man with two surnames And I'm haunted by a man with two surnames Get him off my back
