perfect couples

i know some friends of mine

think about them all the time

why can't my life be like that?

i've seen them in the park

restauranting after dark

working out on their yoga mats

stars of the dancehall crowd

married young

took their vows

comfort in their boldness and their flair

dab hands for all to see

stroke of brush and poetry

his cut of cloth

the contours of her hair

thank you for the invite tonight

perfect snacklets

perfect drinks

i'm getting ideas from your interiors

perfect apartments

perfect kids

perfect couples are breaking up

what have they done?

those perfect couples are breaking up

what have they done?

don't make me feel so good

expect that stuff in hollywood

not in my current milieu

sexual tension at the fridge

he makes for the organic figs

belmondo lips

dangling a cig

and she

just back from her hike

and to the gallery she might

glide by with a basket on her bike

they've got issues too

but what can you do?

bad times

they'll always see them through

perfect couples are breaking up

what have they done?

those perfect couples are now breaking up

what have i done?

those perfect couples are breaking up

what have they done?

those perfect couples

they keep breaking up

what have i done?

never happy with my girl

jealous of a different world

suddenly the years slip away

what am i waiting for?

what makes me close the door?

i see those perfect couples

i admire the most

finding fault with my heart

and always back to the start

what makes me get in the fray

then just throw it away

yes i throw it away

yes i throw it away

yes i throw it away

perfect couples are breaking up.
