Open up the door Astrid, cause I'm comin' down the stairs And I ain't gonna listen to no more pissin' around I've had seven long years of give a little, take a little Stack a little money away And you better believe I'm gonna take this love to town Turn on the tears Astrid, and don't forget to let the neighbours see What a low down deal you got when you married me You can drown your days in valium and brandy Talkin' to the cat and the dog And you can shove your cheap french vogue society Goodbye, goodbye . . . I won't be comin' back for long Open up the door Astrid, and don't try to stand in my way I'm heading for a long long night to a better day And don't bother offering to drive me to the station You'd only drive me round the bend We're comin' to the end, there's nothin' left to say
