Ex Wife - You've Got the Lot

Drowning in a cess pit of jealousy
The seeming success of everyone he sees
Gorging on a bowl of sour grapes, taste so sharp
Cuts to the bone, rips through his heart

The Potters sport the latest Nike trainers
The Copseys can only buy Gola
The Goulds are members of the tennis club
The Copseys play leisure centre badminton
The Fishwicks socialise and go to parties
The Copseys sit at home and watch TV
The Whitings hold a dinner party for 10
The Copseys buy 10-pound meal deals

They got the lot - you can try but can you keep it up?
Stuffed to the gills. Full to the brim. Up to the hilt
They got the lot, they got the lot
They got the lot, we have not

The Taylors bought a jet black Porsche 911
The Copseys have a Toyota Avensis estate in grey
The Jones' have a 10-bed mansion and a Dutch au pair
The Copseys live in a 3-bed semi with a lodger to share

They've got the lot. Stuffed to the gills
Full to the brim. Up to the hilt
They got the lot. Stuffed to the gills
Full to the brim. Up to the hilt

The Adams go trecking in South East Asia
The Copseys have a dinghy in Burnham on Sea
The Smiths bought a holiday home in St Tropez
The Copseys an old caravan in Woolacombe Bay

They've got the lot, more of everything
More interesting, more exciting, more satisfied
Happier, cleverer, funnier
They've got the lot, they've got the lot
They've got the lot, we have not

This keeping up with the Jones' is killing me
Looking through the net curtains
See what we have, see what they have
It's killing me, strangling me
It's hopeless. A game I can't win

They've got the lot, they've got the lot
They've got the lot. We have not
