No Use To Me

Intro

Ah

Ah-ah

Listen now

Listen

Verse 1

I kept your plate warm for a year and a day

You never once said thank you

Bought you a coat for the winter

You lost it by the spring

I did the maths on us

The sums came out in red

So I packed my mother's suitcase

And I left you standing there

Pre-Chorus

You can keep the telly

Keep the record player too

You can keep the Sunday dinners

I cooked for me and you

Chorus

I'm telling you the truth now

The truth now

You were never any use to me

No use to me

I'm telling you the truth now

The truth now

(Truth now)

(Truth now)

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Sing it with me

(Oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh)

Verse 2

My sister warned me gently

My father slammed the door

You sat there with your trainers on

And asked me what it's for

So I wrote it on the mirror

Wrote it on the wall

Wrote it on the back of your hand

You still don't know at all

Pre-Chorus

I don't want the telly

Don't want the record player

I just want my name back

And a bit of peace and quiet

Chorus

I'm telling you the truth now

The truth now

You were never any use to me

No use to me

I'm telling you the truth now

The truth now

(Truth now)

(Truth now)

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Louder now

(Oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh)

Bridge

Go on and tell your mother

Tell her I was cruel

Tell her I was crazy

Tell her I was cold

I was warm as summer

Warm as summer rain

And you just stood there dripping

And you never held a thing

Breakdown

La la la

La la la la

(La la la)

(La la la la)

Carry me

Carry me home

(Carry me)

(Carry me home)

Chorus

I'm telling you the truth now

The truth now

You were never any use to me

No use to me

I'm telling you the truth now

The truth now

(Truth now)

(Truth now)

Outro

I'm gone

I'm gone

(She's gone)

(She's gone)

Gone

Gone

(Gone)
