Almost My Birthday Pt. 1

Almost My Birthday Pt. 2

I was told
It wasn't complicated
Punch a number in my phone
Wait for further details 
Of the beauty I'll take home
Will you be happy here?

I put a bottle of white
In my refrigerator
And I put flowers in the hall
A candle on the table
So when we get home you know
That you'll be happy here

So meet me at the taxi rank
I'm holding up a sign
I got you the coffee
That came free with my copy of The Times
Come and find me in arrivals
With my broken old man smile
Waiting for my mail order bride

I don't know
Why I feel so shameful
I don't want to die alone
Or put my money in a retirement fund
When I could bet my money on you

So meet me at the taxi rank
I'm holding up a sign
I got you the coffee
That came free with my copy of The Times
Come and find me in arrivals
With my broken old man smile
Waiting for my mail order bride

It's not my fault
It's just bad luck
Two divorces down
And the last one that
I tried to love
She just pushed me around
Should have said I've got
A grown up kid
But I don't see her now
Cos I'm spending all
The money for her studies
On our house
So we'll be happy here

So meet me at the taxi rank
I'm holding up a sign
I got you the coffee
That came free with my copy of The Times
Come and find me in arrivals
With my broken old man smile
Waiting for my mail order bride
Waiting for my consolation prize
