Appropriation (By Any Other Name) Lyrics

80% of lovers

Never forget their first

This significant other

Whos departure makes things worse



Well this is you down to a 'T'

I can see you won't forget her

Because she meant untimely death a year ago



Technically, this is, appropriation by any other name

You can't have me, make me act the same

The way you treat me is inappropriate

You don't stop to think about that



Appropriation by any other name

You can't have me, make me act the same

The way you treat me is inappropriate

You don't stop to think about that



A mutal aquaintance

Claims you're wise beyind your years

With a love of conversation

Most unrivaled by your peers



Still the lingering malaise of British Rail

And whether foxes should be killed or not is her concern not mine



Technically, this is, appropriation by any other name

You can't have me, make me act the same

The way you treat me is inappropriate

You don't stop to think about that



Appropriation by any other name

You can't have me, make me act the same

The way you treat me is inappropriate

You don't stop to think about that



What will you do if I don't come back to you tonight?

I'm not always at your beck and call

I know how your mind works now

You just want a nearly new replacement



When I met you, I never wore dresses like that

But I've been sitting here for thirty minutes and you haven't said a word

But I don't have the guts to get on the bus

So I end up getting a lift back to yours and the cycle starts all over again

The cycle starts over again



Stop this man

Someone stop this stop

Stop this man

Someone stop this man, stop this man
