Selfish Jean - Travis

Cheers

Thanks for everything

You hung me up by my heart

You’re just so selfish Jean

Yes you are

Hey you

Threw it all away

By holding everything in

Hey Jean don’t rock the boat

When you can’t swim

Well a perfect understanding of the finer things in life

A quite alarming knack of knowing when to twist the knife

Ahhh-ahhh selfish Jean

Here’s to you

Who had everything

And left it out on the shelf

There’s no-one else to blame

Except yourself

Well a perfect combination of good etiquette and charm

You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm

Ahhh-ahhh selfish Jean

But I’m standing on my own

And this house is not a home

It’s sad to see you go

Things are high

Things are low

And it’s good to know you know

If you got no where to go

Well you could spend the night with me

There will be no guarantee that I’ll be here

In the morning

Or any time that you call

I hear you snoring Jean

Through the wall

So hey

Here’s to everything

To peace and love in our time

Ah Jean the slate is clean

I guess we’re fine

Well I don’t expect a miracle

I’m not asking you to change

If you can’t see me happy well just look the other way

Ahhh-ahhh selfish Jean

Ahhh-ahhh selfish Jean

Jean
