Lyrics for (Afternoon) Soaps

Sit by me silently and brush my beard No mess to mop up from the bed today Will we sit next door and watch the soaps? We've nothing to do and we've nothing to say Oh, when you go Oh, when you go Recently, we've been somewhat volatile And last night it starts with that Joan Osbourne song I hate it anyway but you made it worse I know why you laughed And you should know you were wrong Oh, when you go Oh, when you go But number one taught me I shouldn't trust That's why I find unfounded doubts abound But number two proved that with none, we've nothing And now I'm only happy when you're not around Oh, when you go Oh, when you go Oh, when you go Oh, when you go
