Except for the Hatred

Last night I dined
 On beef and asparagus
 And I thought about him
 With his chips and his mushy peas
 And I thought about him
 With his co-op swiss roll
 As I munched on my crackers
 And crumbs of soft stilton
 As I bit on my bitter
 Herbs
 I writhed in my big bed
 And stared at the ceiling
 And I gritted my teeth
 At his stinking and snoring
 And I thought about him
 And his lazy ignoring
 So excuse my red eyes
 And my spiderlike twitching
 Its part of my being
 Its part of my being!
 Everything is fine
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
 Everything is fine
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
 I dream of a morning
 Of sunlight and butterflies
 I hope for a day of peace
 I pray for a way out
 A way to escape him
 And if death won't take me
 Then I pray it will take him
 Everything is fine
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
 Everything is fine
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
 It's so nice to see you
 It's so nice to be here
 I wish I could stay here
 I want to be free
 I feel that I'm dying
 I feel we won't meet again
 I feel we won't meet again
 I feel
 I feel!
 I shudder at my desk
 As I work on my documents
 And I think about him
 In his vest watching television
 And I think about him
 With his nicotine fingers
 As I sip my green tea
 As I mix up a salad
 Of dark and bitter
 Herbs
 Everything is fine
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
 Everything is fine
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
 Except for the hatred
