Bad Cover Version

The word's on the streets we've found someone new

If he looks nothing like me I'm so happy for you

I heard an old girlfriend has turned to the church

She's tryin' to replace me but it'll never work

'Cause every touch reminds you

Of just how sweet it could have been

And every time he kisses you

It leaves behind the bitter taste of saccharine

A bad cover version of love is not the real thing

Ooo

Bikini clad girl on the front who invited you in

Such great disappointment when you got him home

The original was so good no one you know longer know

And every touch reminds you

Of just how sweet it could have been

And every time he kisses you

You get the taste of saccharine

It's not easy to forget me

It's so hard to disconnect

When it's electronically reprocessed

To give a more life like effect

Tom come on

Aah sing your song

About all the sad imitations

That got it so wrong

It's like a late Tom and Jerry

When the two of them could've talk

Like the stones since the eighties

Like the last days of southfork ohh

Like 'Planet of the Apes' on TV

The second side of 'til the band comes in

Like an known brand box of cornflakes

He's goin' to let you down my friend

Jimmy gotta
