about

Vocal. An homage to the first hit single released by four Liverpool lads. Written some 40 years later, it imagines the same narrator updating his mates in the local boozer about how his relationship is no longer what it once was.

lyrics

Last night I said these words to my girl
“You know, you don’t even try
I’ve had enough of your lazy ways
It’s long past time for you to say goodbye”

“You don’t please me
Like you used to
You don’t please me any more”

I changed the number on my SIM card
I changed the lock on my front door
I took back my car keys
And said that thing that I’d put off so many times before

I said
“You don’t please me
Like you used to
You don’t please me any more”

She’s had her day in the sun
I took her around the world as my companion
She thought that she’d got it made
But last night I told her she’d be on her way

I said
“You don’t please me
Like you used to
You don’t please me anymore”
