Weddings Parties Anything Lights of Devonport lyrics

Can't say I'm sorry to be leaving here tonight
There is not much that I will miss
And anyway to say I feel betrayed is not quite right
But like betrayal this all started with a kiss

But how could they understand that a man is not an island
Could they ever realise that's why I'm heading to the mainland

And the bastards in the bar I bet they say good luck good riddance
And I say to each their own you pack of filthy sodden pissants
I don't know quite what I'm doing I dont know quite what to say
The lights of Devonport are fading in the distance and I'm leaving here today

Well I thought it was all of my own business who I loved
I never wore my heart upon my belt
But in this mining town the only thing not mind is your own business
And they never spared one thought for how I felt

But how could they understand that a man could get so lonely

Will they ever realise what it takes to be the one and only

And the bastards in the bar I bet they say good luck good riddance
And I say to each their own you pack of filthy sodden pissants
I don't know quite what I'm doing I dont know quite what to say
The lights of Devonport are fading in the distance and I'm leaving here today

There's a better time a waiting for me somewhere
I can feel it as we head across the straight
When I get to that better place a waiting for me somewhere
Maybe I'll put pen to paper, drop a line to those of you who cared

But not to the bastards in the bar, to you I say good luck good riddance
You can never understand you pack of filthy sodden pissants
I don't know quite where I'm going I dont know quite where I'll stay
The lights of Devonport are fading in the distance and I'm leaving here today
