A Ballad To Finish
The love of my life, she has left me
She didn't want me any more
So I'm writing this sorrow
With a Biro I've borrowed
Crumpled up here on the floor

The pen might just colour in spaces
The pad might well paper the cracks
But the words are just scribble
And the poetry is drivel
And neither will win me her back

(Oooh-oooh-oooh-aaah)

A lesson for all of you listeners
A paean to bad poets worldwide
Be sure that your art
Don't take over your heart
Keep your love firm by your side

Keep your love firm by your side
