Lyric Bitter End

They say that bearing crosses is a religion in itself
But honey the strain I m under, it s ruining my health
When we first met as lovers, we walked together hand in hand
But now that bridge of love has shattered, I m such a lonely man

I m not gonna be your monkey,
I m not gonna be your fool
I m not gonna stand round waiting
While you re out there trying to be cool
At the bitter end.

Well you listed all my virtues honey, and you charged a real high price
Well given this set of circumstances, I don t think that s nice

I m not gonna be your monkey, I m not gonna be your clown
I m not gonna stand round watching as they lower you down
In the ground
At the bitter end.

I m like a knight in shining armour, honey do I detect some rust?
I m moving one step higher, honey tell me, honey tell me, honey you must

Well I gave you all my confidence, and you gave me back just lies
I recognise amongst our best friends, most of them are spies
With all this poison in the system, love was murdered from the first
And though I practiced eastern logic, I just cannot break the curse

Well I m not gonna be your monkey,
I m not gonna dance any jig
I m not gonna stand round waiting,
As you re taking your lunch with the pigs
At the Bitter End.
