Cinder Ella


As my friend, you could see we had it all,
She wore plastic slippers to the ball
They fitted perfectly without ambitions of glass
Together wed make love and let midnight pass.

So now I hear that you're her friend
A scheming chameleon right to the end
Were you comforting the tears of a clown
Before kicking the sand once I was down

Were you not my friend who was so adamant
John, men befriend woman with only one intent
So we split at three, and you were in at four
One hour to befriend the one I adore

I gave her twice as much as she required
Like the 1000 love songs that she inspired
But I guess friendship doesn't count no more
Ill just pick my guard back up off the floor

Now through the window, you both lie in bed
And I remember another thing you said
As I flick my fag towards your secret love next
John, remember paraffin always burns best
