Continental divorce


You’d say it was a strange relationship
You’d never put us together 
Married in good faith, it was a real embrace 

So what went so wrong? Don't look at me
Our common interests were hard to see
We slowly grew apart, we need a brand new start

With heavy head and a broken heart 
With disbelief and an easy grief, we know we don't belong

So the ship has sailed for you and me
It’s listing, it’s heaving and we’re all at sea
All aboard the lifeboats or ignoring the reports? 
We’re heading for a messy Continental Divorce

You can't find a new life when you’re still stuck in the past
And you can't move on and nothing ever lasts 
The silly thing is that its all gone 
We’ll all be poorer, it won't be long

Coz it’s who pays for this and who pays for that?
We’re finding there’s no welcome on the welcome mat
Too busy slinging insults and character assignations
Which court will rule on our separation?
 
Coz there is no good outcome when we’re fighting in the yard 
And both of us will loose, will lose the very prize

So the ship has sailed for you and me
It’s listing, it’s heaving and we’re all at sea
All aboard the lifeboats or ignoring the reports? 
We’re heading for a messy Continental Divorce
