Walk Away Renee Lyrics

"Walk Away Renee"
She said it was just a
figment of speech
And I said you mean 'figure'
And she said no 'figment'
because she could never imagine it happening
But it did
When we first
met, I played the shy-boy
When she spoke to me for the first time, my nose
began to bleed
She guessed the rest
The next day we went on a bus ride to
the ferry
And when nobody came to collect our fares, why I knew then this
was
something special
I couldn't stop thinking about her
And everytime
I switched on the radio, there was somebody else singing
a song about the two
of us
It was just like being on a fast ride at Fun Fair- the sort you want to
get off
because it's scary and then, as soon as you're off again, you want
to
get straight ba
ck on again
But oh love is strange
And you have
to learn to take the crunchy with the smooth I suppose
She began going out
with Mr. Potato Head
It was when I saw her in the car park with his coat
around her shoulders
I realized
I went home and thought about the two of
them together until the bath
water went cold around me
I thought about
her eyes and the curve of her breasts and about the point
where their bodies
met
I confronted her about it
I said 'I'm the most illegible bachelor in
town'
And she said 'Yea, that's why I can never understand any of those
silly
letters you send me'
And then one day it happened
She cut her
hair
And I stopped loving her.
