lyrics

HAMLETTE

Some people say they know a girl called Johnny
me, I used to know a girl called Hamlette

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are not dead yet
it's just their wisdom that's been left on the shelf
your lack of knowledge really gave you an edge
but you've ruined it all just to earn your badge

You said you live your life without a safety net
but that's not true, my little Hamlette

I've laid my life down, down at your feet
all the promises I just couldn't keep
protect your illusions, fulfill your dreams
I guess I'm too old for this kind of things

To live your life without a safety net
but that's not you, my little Hamlette

More blood on your hands than Lady Macbeth
but you don't care, do you Hamlette?

Shall I come to your house or not
tell me now what have I got?
shall you come to my house or not?
it's up to us to untie this knot

I've let you down so many times
now I'm here contemplating my crimes
you said to my face again and again
I'm not as cool as your man

To live a life without a safety net
that was just me, Hamlette
you said your choices were a risky bet 
glad to meet your new man, Hamlette

Shall I come to your house or not
tell me now what have I got?
shall you come to my house or not?
it's up to us to untie this knot
