They Might Be Giants - Starry Eyes lyrics

While you were off in France
We were stranded on the British Isles
Left to fall apart amongst the
Passports and the files
We never asked for miracles
But they were our concern
Did you really think we'd sit it
Out and wait for your return

I don't want to argue i ain't gonna budge
Would you take this number down
Before you call off the judge
I don't want to argue there's nothing to say
Just get me out of your starry eyes and
Be on your way

While you were on the beach
Were you dreaming about your share?
Planning to invest it all to
Cover wear and tear
We paid for all the phone calls
The money's on the shelf
Don't you know that while you're gone away
I've gotta help myself

I don't want to argue i ain't gonna budge
Would you take this number down
Before you call off the judge
I don't want to argue there's nothing to say
Just get me out of your starry eyes and
Be on your way

While you were in the pool
We were meeting with the boys upstairs
Talking to the money men
And carrying out repairs
We had no time for cocktails
Or working up a tan
The boys have all been spoken to
The writ has hit the fan

I don't want to argue i ain't gonna budge
Would you take this number down
Before you call off the judge
I don't want to argue there's nothing to say
Just get me out of your starry eyes and
Be on your way

I don't want to argue there's nothing to say
So get me out of your starry eyes and
Be on your way
So get me out of your starry eyes and
Be on your way
