(On Tuesdays She Used to Do) Yoga

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On Tuesdays, she used to do yoga While I'd sit and watch the box In a vegetable way But always ready to say To myself that I was an artist Implying that she was not [Verse 2] It's funny the way that self-pity Can take over from self-esteem - Well, I was the prince of pride And though I'd cheat I never lied As if that were enough to make her happy As if that could satisfy her dreams [Bridge] Too late now to say that I'm so sorry Too late to say that I can change and mend The things that hurt She didn't need to worry She always knew I'd get there in the end [Verse 3] Now I'm tying myself up in contortions Don't know if yoga will do me any good It's about time I tried Though I'd rather be inside from the cold Studying tantra - Still, I never did that when I could [Verse 4] I never did the things that really mattered There seemed to be some key I couldn't find To unlock myself; I could have done it with her help But I was too busy scrabbling for each moment - Now I don't know what I did with all the time [Outro] Sometimes I'd play the wild rover Sometimes I'd just get smashed all day... On Tuesdays she used to do yoga On Tuesday she went away
