She's got her mothers pride but not her strength
And the length she'll go to win an argument
Is long enough but not strong enough for me
There's no reasoning to these things
You know the hurt is lasting

So I
Gave myself to the sure things
The simple and the bored things
In my
Wasted wealth
On the bored things
Those entertaining mornings where I can't see past the door
When my tie's hung above my trousers balled up on the floor
And she's rifling through her drawers
For a pretty little underthing that'll make me beg for more

You know she's got a busy day and I'd really love to stay
But I got shows to stop and pills to pop so I really must be going babe

Well I'm wasted on fidelity as I edge upon insanity
It's just been a battering rhapsody for me
I'll take lacy covered solace in the hope she might promise all the things that she had mentioned
You can't imagine the potential

So I
Gave myself to the sure things
The simple and the bored things
In my
Wasted wealth
On the bored things
Those entertaining mornings where I can't see past the door
When my tie's hung above my trousers balled up on the floor
And she's rifling through her drawers
For a pretty little underthing that'll make me beg for more

You know she's got a busy day and I'd really love to stay
But I got shows to stop and rows to rock so I really must be going babe

On the bored things
The simple and the sure things
In my
Wasted wealth
On the bored things

I drowned myself
In the sure things
The simple and the bored things
In my
Wasted wealth
On the bored things
Those entertaining mornings with what's her face

I gave myself to the sure things
I drowned myself in the sure things
