Writing On The Wall

I was just a singer, an' she drove a hire car
When she seen me dancing on stage,
Well I guess it must've made her laugh.
When that two bit joint shut shop she offered me a ride
But she didn't see that I was ten parts drunk
Until I slurred out "I'm much obliged".

And oh, oh she's not to blame
You never see the wind just feel the rain
You never see the thunder in the storm
No, you only see the writing on the wall.

The next time I saw her, she was just a one night stand.
I could've picked a different girl, She could've picked a different man.
We thought after the usual we'd go our separate ways,
But little did we realise that first date would last for nearly three days.

And oh, oh she's not to blame
You never see the wind just feel the rain
You never see the thunder in the storm
No, you only see the writing on the wall.

Well, we're still together An' my dancing still makes her laugh.
Just goes to show, there's more to love than beds and one night stands.
So if you see a singer With a hire car chauffeur
I'll be sitting in the back street
Wishing that sitting in the front was her.

And oh, oh she's not to blame
You never see the wind just feel the rain
You never see the thunder in the storm
No, you only see the writing on the wall.
