"Turnstile Casanova" lyrics - RICHARD THOMPSON

This ain't right, crying all night
My mind's broken all to pieces
She says she will, then she says she won't
My confusion just increases

Now she's gone
And the world moves on
I thought I was wise
I thought I was brave
I thought I was strong

She's up and away, shares a duvet
With a Turnstile Casanova
I tried to plead, she said no need
When it's over, darling, it's over

Now she's gone
And the world moves on
I thought I was wise
I thought I was brave
I thought I was strong

Stalking each other like a pair of foxes
Who needs who, who ticks who's boxes
Who needs the headlines, who needs the drama
Living your life in Cinerama
But who - gets to stir the stew?

She's cut and dried, dewy eyed
For an overnight sensation
There in a flash, dash for the cash
And a tabloid reputation

Now she's gone
And the world moves on
I thought I was wise
I thought I was brave
I thought I was strong
