Your accountant called this morning   There was springtime in his heart   He couldn't wait to tell me   How he'd pulled our lives apart   And the letter from your lawyer   Lies unopened on the tray   I may get around to reading it later today      Walking round the lonely rooms   I see everything the same   But suddenly it matters   What was purchased in my name   Whether this or that was paid for   Belongs to me or you   Can the seven years together be divided by two      It says something for the legal boys   But nothing much for us   That all we had together   Is so quickly ended thus   The legal boys have won again   And you and I have lost   They can't tell us how it happened   But they'll let us know the cost   Oh they'll let us know the cost, oh yeah      There's a lot I'd like to tell you   But I can't get past your guards   I do not speak their language   And they hold all the cards   I would rather call you darling   Than defendant in the case   But lovers left here long ago   And clients took their place
