You got me on the cheek
but it didn't leave a bruise,
and my shins took a scraping
from your lethal new shoes,
then you took me up an alley
and i took one in the face
when i said "Hit me anywhere
except that special place
that we've been sharing at weekends
when we're drunk enough to try,
and we've found ourselves beside
a bed or bush in which to lie."
And i expected nothing less
when i informed you of my night
with the American who, as we speak,
is safely on her flight.
