It's happened before, it'll happen again,
It's happened before, it happened again.

You only call to see me when I'm out,
A guilty conscience nags you I have no doubt,
You bribed the postman not to call anymore,

It's happened before, it'll happen again,
It's happened before, it happened again.

Another glass would send me to outer space,
The ceiling joins the floor,
Am I out of place?
And then I ask myself, what's it all for?

It's happened before, it'll happen again,
It's happened before, it happened again.

*** Note: I want to thank Nigel Saunders for help with this most difficult of all of Rory's songs to understand. Good on'ya Nigel.
