Taken from the 1992 cassette album Umbrella Heaven

lyrics

I've come a hundred miles to see you for the last time
Surprised that when I see you, still reminds me of the first time
And I should be being sombre now that we're at the end
But all I want to do right now's compare my notes with your best friend

Because all that talk about forever was always yours anyhow
And I didn't believe you then so I'm not exactly startled now
And perhaps I should stand up and tell you how it doesn't have to be
But I'm feeling kind of tired and anyway it seems to me

You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more

So here we are once more, taking up your precious time
All those things you could be doing, better options on your mind
So I coax you through the motions, continuing what we've both begun
It wasn't meant to be hard work but these days no one has much fun

And sure he's got the background and, yes, he's got the grace
But tomorrow you'll be yearning for oranges thrown at your face

You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more

Count the rings around my eyes, that's one for every scene
Guess I keep on taking it because that's the way it's always been
And you can talk about the pleasures that blossom from this pain
But life's too short to reinvent the wheel time and time again

You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
