Selfish Jean Lyrics - Travis

Cheers, thanks for everything 

You hung me out by my heart 

You're just so selfish Jean 

Yes, you are 

Hey you threw it all away 

By holding everything in 

Hey Jean, don't rock the boat 

When you can't swim 

Well, a perfect understanding 

Of the finer things in life 

A quite alarming knack of knowing 

When to twist the knife 

Oh, selfish Jean 

Here's to you who read everything 

Left it out on a shelf 

There's no one else to blame 

Except yourself 

Well, a perfect combination 

Of good etiquette and charm 

You keep the chocolate biscuits 

Wired to a car alarm 

Oh, selfish Jean 

Well, I'm standing on my own 

And this house is not a home 

It's so sad to see you go 

Things are high and things are low 

And it's good to know you know 

If you've got nowhere to go 

Well, you could spend the night with me 

There will be no guarantee that I'll be here 

In the morning 

Or any time that you call 

I hear you snoring, Jean 

Through the wall 

So hey, here's to everything 

To peace and love in our time 

Ah Jean, the slate is clean 

I guess we're fine 

Well, I don't expect a miracle 

Not asking you to change 

If you can't see me happy 

Well, just look the other way 

Oh, selfish Jean, oh, selfish Jean 

Jean, Jean
