lyrics

A cold November morning
we meet up late
at the cafe on the corner
you always said you hate

You're looking a little weary
your eyes a little worn
and you've got your collars up
to keep your ears warm

you know the,
best thing you ever did
was get rid of me
I see you up in town
you've got places to be
got a smile on your face
you've got people to see
so the best thing you did
was that day when you got
rid of me

I pull the chair out
but you don't look up
staring down at the spoon
in your coffee cup

you aint saying much
all I get's a smile
what's going on inside
that pretty little mind

you know the,
best thing you ever did
was get rid of me
I see you up in town
you've got places to be
got a smile on your face
you've got people to see
so the best thing you did
was that day when you got
rid of me

and you don't have to sing along
and you won't find yourself here
in another one of these here
love songs

Now you open up
you say you're off track
you put your little hand on mine
and say I want you back

you know the,
best thing you ever did
was get rid of me
You might see me up town
I've got places to be
I've got a smile on my face
I've got people to see
so the best thing you did
was that day when you got
rid of me

about

Chris Speck Hull, UK

English folk and country singer and writer.

All the music here is original apart from 'The Game of All Fours' which was adapted from a traditional English folk song.

I like chips, mushy peas, warm beer, a red headed girl and my kids. Not in that order of course and some I like more than others.
