Talis Kimberley - Thin Blue Mean Streak lyrics

Let me remind you - That book I lent you You swore you gave it back - well, you lied It's not in print now - You know that damn well 'Track another copy down somewhere' - oh, I tried 's all part of your - Thin blue mean streak You couldn't keep that hidden for more than Two months: eight weeks - Wasn't that the size of it, Yeah? Thin blue mean streak (Runs all through your love like spoiled silk) Were you deliberate - In your choice of insult Or was that sheer good luck on your part? Some things you don't say - I won't repeat them out loud You might find something in your price range fits your taste in the back of the Exchange & Mart - Given your - Thin blue mean streak You couldn't keep that hidden for more than Two months: eight weeks - Wasn't that the size of it, Yeah? Thin blue mean streak (Runs all through your love like spoiled silk) It's sheer blind guesswork - Only conjecture But that's not all you kept, was it now? I can't begrudge you - Such meagre comfort - But did you really sit down And work out a nice round figure how much you Spent on me? And are you really so sad To keep in a box marked 'private' What belongs to me? - Just you answer that - (Instrumental Chorus) And as for wanting - All of your gifts back You're very welcome to them I'm sure And just this morning - I found a copy of the book you stole Signed by the man who wrote it I don't miss the other one any more - I don't miss your - Thin blue mean streak You couldn't keep that hidden for more than Two months: eight weeks - Wasn't that the size of it, Yeah? Thin blue mean streak (Runs all through your love like spoiled silk)
