The Beautiful South - Love Adjourned lyrics

Your wife's got beautiful skin

Shame it's not round her body no more

It just came away in my hands

As I asked her up to dance

Just cut her out of your scrapbook

If she ever made it in

And if there's any old photos of her

You know where to find the bin

"Can't work it out"

It's what I always say

Adjourn this love into another day

If you bite off more than you can chew

Adjourn this love without a clue

Your wife's got beautiful teeth

Pity they're not in the mouth no more

They just seem to crumble and fall

As I pinned her to the wall

Just rub her out of your diary

Scratch her name off your list

And if you want to see her smiling

Take a good look at this fist

"Can't work it out"

It's what I always say

Adjourn this love into another day

If you bite off more than you can chew

Adjourn this love without a clue

You took this boy

And you showed him insanity

You said he must abide

He showed you beauty

And you showed him vanity

Can't say that I cried

"Can't work it out"

It's what I always say

Adjourn this love into another day

If you bite off more than you can chew

Adjourn this love without a clue
