Lyrics
Saboteur
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She came as a friend
We shook hands and then we smiled
Instant rapport
We spoke of mutual friends
She asked about my family
And admired my car
We had a working lunch
Ah, we gossiped and we laughed
Confidentially
In the glow of wine
Yes, I told her everything
Shamelessly
Chorus:
How was I such an easy target
How was I such an easy prey
How could I not see
What a fool I must be
To be fooled so easily
She scrutinised her plan
And surveyed the ground around
For camouflage
She ordered Creme
Then she gently set the fuse
And laid the charge
So I paid the bill
We shook hands and then we smiled
So glad we'd met
Then she dropped the bomb...
And she blew my world apart
With no regret
