Your
accountant called this morning
There
was springtime in his heart
He
couldn't wait to tell me
How
he'd pulled our lives apart
And
the letter from your lawyer
Lies
unopened on the tray
I
may get around to reading it later today
Walking
round the lonely rooms
I
see everything the same
But
suddenly it matters
What
was purchased in my name
Whether
this or that was paid for
Belongs
to me or you
Can
the seven years together be divided by two
It
says something for the legal boys
But
nothing much for us
That
all we had together
Is
so quickly ended thus
The
legal boys have won again
And
you and I have lost
They
can't tell us how it happened
But
they'll let us know the cost
Oh
they'll let us know the cost, oh yeah
There's
a lot I'd like to tell you
But
I can't get past your guards
I
do not speak their language
And
they hold all the cards
I
would rather call you darling
Than
defendant in the case
But
lovers left here long ago
And
clients took their place
