Thats What You Get Babe — текст песни (Kevin Ayers)

Dead words scattered round the room like dust

Daggers and knives that have started to rust

One more battle fought in the name of love.



Tears and blood splattered over the wall

Broken bits and pieces up and down the hall

Take em up to bed,

And stick em all together again.



Thats what you get for following dreams

Never turn out how they should it seems

That what you get for losing yourself

Thats what you get, babe.

Thats what you get, babe.

Thats what you get, babe.



A bottle of wine, dinner for two

You know me better, Im learning bout you

Two blue candles burn with the flame of love



. one day soon will come a shake up time

But, baby tonight, loving you feels fine;

I hold yours, and you hold mine, its warm again.



Thats what you get for loving this way;

Say it loud when theres something to say;

Thats what you get for taking a chance

Thats what you get, babe.



You give your heart away

And most of your time

Sign away your freedom

On some dotted line

Stick to the rules,

Youre guaranteed peace of mind, babe....



Believe it, or leave it,

You do as you please.

Theres no such thing as guarantees

Life doesnt hold any certainties except dying.. .
