Selfish Jean / Travis

Cheers, thanks for everything
You hung me out by my heart
You're just so selfish Jean
Yes you are

Hey you threw it all away
By holding everything in
Hey Jean don't rock the boat
When you can't swim

With a perfect understanding of the finer things in life
A quite alarming knack of knowing when to twist the knife
Oh
Selfish Jean

Here's to you who read everything
Left it out on the shelf
There's no one else to blame
Except yourself

Well a perfect combination of good etiquette and charm
You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm
Oh
Selfish Jean

Well i'm standing on my own
And this house is not a home
It's so sad to see you go
Things are high, things are low
And it's good to know you know
If you've got nowhere to go
Well you could spend the night with me
There will be no guarantee that I'll be here
In the morning

Or any time that you call
I hear you snoring Jean through the wall

So hey, here's to everything
To peace and love in our time
Ah Jean the slate is clean
I guess we're fine

Well I don't expect a miracle
Not asking you to change
If you can't see me happy
Well just look the other way
Oh
Selfish Jean

Ah
Selfish Jean
