Mad Dog Days

You sit in your room, pretending to cry Oh you seem so unwilling to try Say what you're selling is just a lie And know that your price is far too high. Every night and every day I show you my picture, you just throw the frame away With all that you think you've got little to say I can't look at your face any more. Oh the mad dog days I say oh they're just mad dog days In them mad dog days I don't care if it's true Between me and you Can't see it through Please, let me say goodbye. I never get used to you Oh no never, could never get used to you I never get used to you I never get used to you. You don't see my dream, I don't see your romance You make me feel like a dancer, but you don't care to dance You see me hit the bottle, you hit the sack I go ratbag racing on the flat of my back. In these mad dog days I call them mad dog days I know them mad dog days I don't care if it's true Between me and you Can't see it through Oh please, let me say goodbye. I never get used to you Oh I never get used to you Ooh, I never get used to you I never, never, never, never get used to you. Cos you, you keep sitting in your lonely little room You never, never, never come out at all You, you keep sitting in your little darkened room You're unwilling to try Pretending to cry You're telling a lie Oh please, just say goodbye. I never get used to you I don't want to get used to you I never get used to you I never, never, no, could never get used to you. Ah lord I never get used to you With your crying I never get used to you Stop crying, and lying Oh I never get used to you You know, could never get used to you. --- Mad Dog Days - John Martyn
