Abdication!

It's only too clear

And I know you hate to state the obvious

But the houses round here

Hold jumble sales and joblessness



I always thought autumn was my favourite time of the year

But I guess I'd forgotten

How cold it can get when the sun disappears



You sounded so sure

That I'd come to your side when you came to your senses

But we stood at the door

And fought 'til your neighbours had come to their fences



You called me a bad weather friend

And I think that I know what you meant

But your letters are all heaven sent

The others I get are all from the government



It's all part and parcel

Of having next to nothing to do

But if I was the king of the castle

I'd throw away the throne for you
