lyrics

and at the same time i remember watching brokeback mountain and how jealous i was of their love and i knew i would always say yes to it once i recognised it for what it was


i'm in the process of putting the
best china away. many plates are shattered
the saucers are cracked, cups are chipped and
the broken bowls no longer stack. it's sad

this is my best china. i carefully arrange the shards in
more or less the right place in the presentation box
they make jagged piles of lethal pieces
i'm worried some of the fragments might slip out

it's so hard to get the lid shut!
this wasn't what i planned for my heart

i'd envisaged loving teas on the lawn with
cucumber sandwiches and butterfly cakes
i fancied i was made for banquets of
roast pheasant and twelve different vegetables

meal after meal, washing up, drying up
laying the table again for dinner
growing old happily with my gilt-edged crockery
silly me. but still. we all have to eat

i just wish you'd taken care of me better
if i'd known i would have used the second best china
