Only Bad Signs - Billy Bragg

He answers the phone

So I know you’re not alone

I’ll find only bad signs

If you’ve let him answer this time

When I return

To find letters that you’ve burnt

I’ll find only bad signs

If you have burnt his, not mine

When you go out, I do not doubt

That I’ll find only bad signs

By things that you leave here

I’d rather go blind

Than continue to find

Only bad signs

You know that you’re leaving

I cannot guess

How much more I can take

When you’re with him

Three’s a crowd, and a heartbreak

The look on your face

And the long silent days

I see only bad signs

If we are lost in our own home

The sun may rise

But not in my eyes

I see only bad signs

And sorrow and shadows

I just cannot guess

How much more I can take

When you’re with him

Three’s a crowd, and a heartbreak

He answers the phone

So I know you’re not alone

I’ll find only bad signs

If you’ve let him answer this time

When I return

To find letters that you’ve burnt

I’ll find only bad signs

If you have burnt his, not mine

Only bad signs

Only bad signs

Only bad signs
