Lyrics

Aged Casanova speaking to the tired-eyed
Slightly fattened nineteen year old who's lived a little life
Down in the darkness where the little glow stares
I can spot the average ones, I can tell by the hair
But you, you shouldn't be here way down on your knees
You don't need this and that and this and that and this and that
Oh, you don't need these
Hey, Tulip, hey, Tulip, you're the strong one
Hey, Tulip, say, Tulip, you're his long one
Hey, hey, hey, this must be your day
Somebody knows your face
They remember from '62 when you wear your shoes blue
And you had the kind of hairdo they'd never admire
You purchased a house and a horse but you're getting much thinner
Who's watching the children at home? Who's making your dinner?
Say, Tulip, oh, Tulip, you're the strong one
Hey, Tulip, say, Tulip, you're his long one
Shake it just one time for him
You remember your Auntie Margaret and your cousin Tim
They've been searching for you but you still don't hear
Just one more small scotch, one more beer
Leave, leave, go home to Bradford, Newcastle, somewhere
Go back up north, go away
They don't want you here, they don't want you here
Hey, Tulip, say, Tulip, you're the strong one
Hey, Tulip, say, Tulip, you're his, his
His, his, his, his, his, his, his long one
