[Verse 1] Your accountant called this morning There was springtime in his heart He couldn’t wait to tell me How he’d pulled our lives apa - art And the letter from your lawyer Lies unopened on the tray I may get around to reading it later today [Verse 2] Walking round the lonely rooms I see everything the same But suddenly it matters What was purchased in my na  -  me Whether this or that was paid for Belongs to me or you Can the seven years together be divided by two [Chorus] It says something for the legal boys But nothing much for us That all we had together Is so quickly ended thus The legal boys have won again And you and I have lost They can’t tell us how it happened But they’ll let us know the cost Oh they’ll let us know the cost oh yeah [Verse 2] There’s a lot I’d like to tell you But I can’t get past your guards I don’t speak their language And they hold all the ca - rds I would rather call you darling Than defendant in the case But lovers left here long ago And clients took their place [Chorus] It says something for the legal boys But nothing much for us That all we had together Is so quickly ended thus The legal boys have won again And you and I have lost They can’t tell us how it happened But they’ll let us know the cost Oh they’ll let us know the cost oh yeah
