Lyrics Song in This Book - The Jane Austen Argument

Thank you, yes I guess that's the word I've been searching for for you
It took ten months and a lot of cigarettes for me to arrive at this one, yessir.
Thank you for taking the other point of view in a story that we set in concrete
Thank you for taking advantage of my insecurities, you really are a pal.

Oh I'm not one to linger in the past
But my dreams won't let sleeping dogs lie
So I guess you deserve a little song in this book
Before we say goodbye

I don't know how you justify your predatory nature to all other folk
It seems to me that it's much easier to be the masked rider than the wheels or the spokes
I can't forgive and I can't forget I just relive and occasionally regret
I sincerely doubt that I'm gonna call, so maybe it's time you should call somebody who cares

Oh I'm not one to linger in the past
But my dreams won't let sleeping dogs lie
So I guess you deserve a little song in this book
Before we say goodbye

Thanks for being horny
When I was much the same
I'm sorry I wasn't a little more responsive
The moment that you came
(Through my door)

Oh I'm not one to linger in the past
But my dreams won't let sleeping dogs lie
So I guess you deserve a little song in this book
Before we say goodbye

Wait... fuck you! Yes I guess that's the phrase I've been searching for all of this time
It took a lot of time for me to forgive my carnivorous curiosities
It takes two to tango and two to fuck, I hope in tango you might have more luck
But I'll propose a toast to you anyway, cos ten months later, I'm OK!

Well apparently I am one to linger in the past
And my dreams won't let sleeping dogs lie
So I guess you deserve a little song in this book
The next time that you and I say goodbye
