A Good Deal Lyrics - The Cautionary Tales Of Mark Oliver Everett - Eels

My plan to play it cool 

Has not been going well 

I have such a hard time 

Keeping the anger hidden 

I've run it through my head 

A dozen times or more 

And each time it ends with me 

Not acting as I did 

A grievous oversight that I cannot erase 

You couldn't know where to take it to 

And none of it matters now 

However I appeal 

All of it's gone 

I've missed a good deal

You disappointed me 

In ways I cannot count 

But you were the best thing 

To happen to me 

And that is no reason to 

Forget all that you've done 

I couldn't expect you to 

Give credence to my plea 

A grievous oversight that I cannot erase 

You couldn't know where to take it to 

And none of it matters now 

However I may feel 

All of it's gone 

I've missed a good deal 

An effortless beauty I had not come across 

It's a heavy loss 

And now it's my cross to bear forever more 

I can be sure 

Photos 

And nothing else matters now 

Whatever I reveal 

All of it's gone 

I've missed a good deal
