[00:00:00] The Cheque's In The Post - Momus

[00:00:07] Me and my lawyer sat down and worked out

[00:00:11] The full cost of the wrongs I have done you

[00:00:16] And I'm sending the money to you

[00:00:20] The cheque's in the post

[00:00:27] For giving you hell

[00:00:30] When I should have been treating you well

[00:00:35] Reparation five hundred five pound notes in a roll

[00:00:44] For remarks about your weight

[00:00:49] For complaining when you were late

[00:00:53] Compensation two thousand pounds the going rate

[00:01:03] For the times we were out

[00:01:08] And my eye kept roving about

[00:01:11] Settling on younger women

[00:01:15] Fifteen hundred say it's forgiven

[00:01:22] Running total six thousand three hundred and fifty pounds

[00:01:30] With tax added on

[00:01:34] And that's just the end of verse one

[00:01:41] For attacking your superstition

[00:01:45] Your pantheistic new age religion

[00:01:49] Let's say the sum of one thousand seven hundred and

[00:01:55] Ninety seven

[00:02:00] When I said your new dress wasn't splendid

[00:02:04] When I told you the way the film ended

[00:02:08] I guess I was wrong accept this token seven thousand pounds

[00:02:18] And for passing the pictures I'd taken

[00:02:23] Of your body totally naked

[00:02:27] Around all our friends let's call it a round nine

[00:02:32] Thousand pounds

[00:02:38] Running total twenty four thousand one hundred and

[00:02:43] Forty seven pounds

[00:02:45] On it's way to you

[00:02:49] And this is just the end of verse two

[00:02:56] Me and my lawyer sat down and worked out

[00:03:00] The real cost of the wrongs I have done you

[00:03:05] And I'm sending the money to you

[00:03:09] The cheque's in the post

[00:03:15] And for my next indiscretion

[00:03:19] When we had sex on the floor of the kitchen

[00:03:23] I sang it in a song accept ten thousand make that

[00:03:28] Eleven thousand pounds

[00:03:34] And for failing to give enough time

[00:03:38] To the baby that could have been mine

[00:03:42] It's not that I don't care my love it's just so hard

[00:03:47] To find a figure

[00:03:53] Worst of all I stopped loving your body

[00:03:58] Making you feel so low

[00:04:02] Though my lawyer says no blame can be apportioned

[00:04:07] For circumstances beyond my control

[00:04:11] So now I'm all paid up

[00:04:13] And absolved from this guilt

[00:04:16] I'm going to get another girl in

[00:04:18] Under my quilt

[00:04:20] And run up

[00:04:23] Another massive debt

[00:04:30] Hail Mary

[00:04:34] Pray for me now

[00:04:38] Now and at the hour of my death

[00:04:41] (Ba-ba-da ba-ba-da ba-ba-da)
