Richard Thompson
Legal Matter
[Verse 1]
I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I know you thought you had me nailed
But I've freed my head from your garden rails

[Chorus]
Now it's a legal matter, baby
You got me on the run
It's a legal matter, baby
It's a legal matter from now on

[Verse 2]
My mind's lost in a household fog
Wedding gowns and catalogs
Kitchen furnishings and trousers
Maternity clothes and babies' trousers

[Chorus]
Now it's a legal matter, baby
Marryin's no fun
It's a legal matter, baby
It's a legal matter from now on

[Bridge]
Well, you ain't the first, and you ain't the last
I gain and lose my women fast
I never mean to make 'em cry
I just get bored, don't ask me why
I just want to keep on doing
All the immature little things I do
Not grow up and be responsible
For somebody truly wonderful like you
I'm sorry, darling
[Verse 1]
I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I know you thought you had me nailed
But I've freed my head from your garden rails

[Chorus]
Now it's a legal matter, baby
You got me on the run
It's a legal matter, baby
It's a legal matter from now on

[Outro]
Thank you. So here's a Tilbrook and Difford classic.
