Generate meaning
1
You were planning to stay in, you had it carefully planned
2
Your coat was hanging in the hall, your hat was in your hand
3
You walked over to your woman, your pale distracted love
4
Who was trying to put the wrong hand into the wrong glove
5
Are you leaving, dear? Are you leaving, dear?
6
Are you leaving, dear? Are you leaving, dear?
7
So you start reading all her books, all her magazines
8
Just to get a better understanding
9
Your brain feels like it's dead
10
Your eyes are hanging out your head
11
You were hoping for something less demanding
12
Well what you see staring out at you from a photo book
13
A man with an eyepatch and a bent, bloody hook
14
You wished to God that you never went and took a look
15
Cause it's in that moment that you know that
16
she's leaving you
17
Yeah she's leaving you
18
Well now she's taking you to bed
19
Her legs wrapped round your head
20
You're losing her to some crazy kind of motion
21
You keep coming up for air
22
You look around and stare
23
Find you're swimming into completely different oceans
24
You're wondering if she's thinking about some other man
25
She says, "C'mon, baby, you know you are my loverman"
26
You're going nuts you don't know exactly what to say
27
She says, "Don't worry, baby, this is just my little way
28
of leaving you"
29
Oh, man, she's leaving you
30
Guitar solo!
31
She keeps saying, "Hey, don't hate me"
32
She keeps saying, "Hate is just some kind of failure of the imagination"
33
She keeps saying things like this
34
Now she's giving you a kiss
35
Now she's got you dragging her to the station
36
The sun just slipped out of the sky, this is a black letter day
37
Her train is moving down the platform, and is drawn away
38
You're crying buckets, she gives her glove a wave
39
She says "Oh c'mon, baby, that's no way to behave
40
when I'm leaving you"
41
Oh yeah, she's leaving you
42
Oh yeah, she's leaving you
43
Yeah, she's leaving you
44
She's leaving you
45
Yeah, she's leaving you
46
Yeah, she's leaving you
47
Yeah, she's leaving you
