Decoration Day Lyrics - Grinderman

I've heard you explain this to me before 

How I am not your favourite lover 

I've got this feeling you're gonna tell me all about it some more 

Well, would you be so kind as to wake me when it's over? 

I'm not your favourite lover 

Wake me when it's over 

I'm not your favourite lover 

I guess we raised our expectations a little high 

And anyway our beginnings never know our ends 

Maybe if you just had've walked on by 

I might have met you somewhere down the road and we might have become friends 

I'm not your favourite lover 

I'm not your favourite lover 

Now all the flags, they are flying 

And all the drummers are marching on their way 

And the soldiers pray for the dead and the dying 

As they decorate their graves 

I saw you standing there on decoration day 

You were a revelation 

I thought you might recognise me and say 

Something, but you walked right on by, you didn't say nothing 

I saw you standing there on decoration day 

You were an inspiration 

And I could not think of a single word to say 

When you turned round and you smiled and asked me for directions 

I'm not your favourite lover 

I'm not your favourite lover 

Wake me when it's over
