The Divine Comedy - A Feather in Your Cap lyrics

A feather in your cap
An indent on your pillow
Something you can brag about
To all your friends, yeah
A feather in your cap, a
Notch upon your bedpost, yeah
How did I compare? Marks out of ten?
A feather in your cap
A shining badge of honour
A tasty little snack to
Have between your meals, yeah
A name that you can add
To your list of lovers
I only wish you had informed me of the deal

And though it hurts like hell it's
Not the end of the world
I won’t come beating down your door
I should have known that you
Were only after one thing
I just expected something more
I hope that you'll forgive me if
The next time we meet
I don't pretend to be okay
And if it makes you feel uncomfortable
You can always walk away just walk away
Just walk away

A feather in your cap
A footnote in your memoir
A holiday snap at the bottom of a drawer
Yeah that one day you’ll look at with
Just a tinge of sorrow
Throw it in the trash and get yourself a beer
