Now that we have expired, I should be honest
Mary, I was unfaithful to you, and it kills me
And I have a son that I've never met

Martin, you can be honest with me if you want to, but I don't want all your devils to hold me and haunt me
'Cause I have a love for you that's absurd

For 80 miles, oh how we drove
(I drove) you drove, we drove together!
For 80 miles, puffin; our smokes
(I smoked), you smoked. We smoked together!

But you loved me. (Yes, I loved you)

For 7 days, oh how we drank. (I drank) you drank
We drank together! At roadside pubs
In the rain. (I drank). You drank. Let's drink together

But you need me. (Yes, I need you)

Mariel! Someone is bleeding the wall
The house is beginning to crumble!
The baby's on fire. Oh dear!
The zebra's are scaling the roof
The mice are beginning to scatter. Oh Mary!
You tied my shoes for me
You tied them tight
But the roof blew off, and you fell out of love

I wasted time on you
I wasted socks
But the sun went down, and I fell out of love

Mariel, would you love me if I was a liar?
