lyrics

A prisoner of the cheap champagne
but I was faithful to the last.
And passionate to the bitter end
but now I fear I’m fading fast.

In the years that I have loved you,
they’ve been waiting for the downfall.
An expectant crowd is gathering and
sharpening their knives.
Now I know I’ve never kept you,
in the style that you're accustomed.
So I’m playing devil’s advocate
and spoiling for a fight.

Now the stakes are doubling,
I can no longer let it ride.

In the years that I have loved you,
They’ve been waiting for the downfall.
Now I know I’ve never kept you,
in the style that your accustomed
An expectant crowd is gathering and
sharpening their knives.
We’ve locked into a vision,
built on guilt and superstition.
When it would have been much easier to smile.

It’s time that everyone took sides.
Take this moment to explode the myth
and let your taste decide
It didn’t take a genius to infiltrate your lives

So now I draw the final curtain, say goodbye.

So I’ll make the noble gesture and
bring an end to this campaign.
Because the fear of being frozen out,
is all too much, for the prisoner of
the cheap champagne.
