Edwyn Collins - Splitting up lyrics

To anyone who's followed me

I offer my apologies

I'm splitting up

I can't afford to compromise

With someone I don't recognise

I'm splitting up

The idea first occurred to me

While shaving rather cautiously

Cos I bleed easily

My head is searating from my heart

I'm splitting up

The crocodiles will shed their tears

While other reptiles sneer and jeer

He's splitting up

The notices, lest we forget

Are posted on the internet

He's splitting up

I can't say I went out in style

My differences unreconciled

Embittered to the end

Neither moving nor affecting

All I'm doing is disconnecting

I'm splitting up

What's it all about?

Haven't got a clue

Only thing I know

It isn't down to you

To decide these things

Still you carry on

Still you scream and shout

I know that it's wrong

I haven't got the clout

To deride these things

But if my hearthad wings…

I'd fly away

To anyone who's followed me

I offer my apologies

I'm splitting up

I'm feeling down

I'm feeling down

I'm splitting up

I'm feeling down

I'm feeling down

I'm splitting up
