[Verse 1]
Have fun, and if you can't have fun
Have someone else's fun
Cause someone sure had mine
They came in, now they're having a whale of a time
[Chorus 1]
And you should grow a beard, a beard to tell a thousand stories never told before
A beard to tell you tales, whilst the fireplace roars
The closing of relationships and the opening of doors
The starting of hostilities and the ending of wars
[Verse 2]
Take care, and if you couldn't care
Take someone else's care
Cause someone took my care
They went there and then they were not there
[Chorus 2]
We should have a baby and then I wouldn't feel quite so sad
Then I'd feel like Paul the Saint and not Jack the Lad
A baby that'll make me feel so very glad
I've had a life of booze, but that's all I've ever had
[Bridge 1]
Cause I'm the King of Misery
The Prince of the torn apart
And you're the lighthouse keeper
To the owner of a ship-wrecked heart
[Verse 3]
Take heart, and if you can't take heart
Take someone else's heart
Someone took my heart
They came in, now I'm torn apart
[Chorus 3]
We should grey together, not that pigeon-chested Trafalgar grey
The grey that greets you on that first October day
The grey of Russian front, whilst wolves bay
And the skeleton of life that love decays
[Bridge 2]
Cause you're the Queen of Sadness
The Princess of the House of Pain
And you're the final match
To the holder of this flickering flame
[Outro]
Have fun...
