i'm the man who came to dinner 
said i wasn't stopping long 
i brought a present wrapped in misery 
and a bottle of sad songs 
you still said 
come on in 
make yourself at home 
would you like a drink 
let me take your coat 

i stand well back in the corner 
with a sneer on my face 
i've got the weight of the world on my shoulders 
ready to fall on this place 

and i felt like one of the family 
and i could be whoever i want to be 

i took you down to the sea 
and let you swim in deep blue water 
sunk your suspicions but then 
you couldn't get back to the shore 

come on in 
make yourself at home 
would you like a drink 
let me take your coat
