about

It's a long story... the lyrics tell the seamy tale.

lyrics

do you still cheat on your wife you still wanna make mine
you sold your soul you sold me out in record time

don’t shrug me off again then tell me I’m you’re friend
cos I don’t believe you any more 



yer a paperback Kafka with half the pages gone .

that you borrowed from me a long long time ago


under a false pretense now it all makes sense


yer a paperback Kafka with half the pages gone



you’re no Scott or Zelda just a terrible Hemingway 

left me emotionally with nothing more to say


no Nabokov or Faulkner just another dilettante
you’re nothing to me now

yer a paperback Kafka with half the pages gone .

that you borrowed from me a long long time ago


under a false pretense now it all makes sense


yer a paperback Kafka with half the pages gone

an unrequited love is your reality frustrated you’re a bona fide mess


in your faux matrimony you’re weak and you’re a phony


a real slice o baloney hey, man just blow for me



you didn’t really think I never knew really didn’t you


you always gave yourself away you knew that I knew, too

daring her by just being there and wanting her
it was written on your face



it said you’re nothing to me now
