Lyrics

Paper over the cracks
You know she's coming back
Turn the lights down low
Move the sofa away from the TV

You've seen enough films
To know how to act in this situation
Comb your hair and brush your suit
Living up to Hollywood expectations

(Chorus)
With what she's put you through who can blame a man like you
Make the sign of the cross you know you're gonna be a martyr too
Looking in the mirror to check your appearance is fine
Can't wait to see your picture in the paper again

One more tick of the clock
The moments here, no way to stop
Turn on the radio
Check your smile, you've got to look like you care

You've seen enough films
To know how to act in this situation
Wipe the sweat off your brow
The final act, the final realisation
