A Proper Fool Songtext / Lyric

I couldn't get nobody to stand de-liver

I couldn't get nobody to sit the pain

But when I hit the door as I sometimes rule

Honey you really should have seen me yeah

I looked a proper fool



I wouldn't let her over the legal limit

I wouldn't let her over the counter claim

Yet when she kicked the legs from under my stool

Honey you really should have seen me yeah

I looked a proper fool



Everyone's a winner now

No-one is denied

Try telling that to let see

Civilians who have died

Soldiers too are victims mind

They bear the blunt of hate

But inside tanks

You get no thanks






I couldn't let on that I was old and able

Couldn't let on that I was more than game

Yet when I waded in thinking there's a pool

Honey you really ought to have seen me yeah

I looked a proper fool



Honey you really should have seen me yeah

I looked a proper fool



Fool or not I can't except

Justice isn't blind

Kill somebody with your car

End up being fined

Kill somebody in it though

And you'll get put away

Not for all time

That would be a crime



I couldn't get nobody to grow impatient

Couldn't get nobody to pour in rain

So when I hit the road even though it's cruel

Honey you really should have seen me yeah

Honey you're never gonna believe me yeah

Honey you promise not to repeat it yeah

[Honey we promise not to repeat it yeah]

I looked a proper fool

I looked a proper fool
