"Guillotine" lyrics - THE WOMBATS

I'm not in love with you
I'm a coward and a thief
I'm a shark with blunted teeth
I have somewhat misled you
I've been known to bend the truth
I would lie in a confession booth

I'm not in a playful mood
Understatement for the year
Well, I thought I should make things clear
As I'm not in love with you
I make promises I can't keep
I've told your boss and I'll tell your niece

[Chorus:]
Drop me like a guillotine
Sever all ties and give me a clean sheet
Go on, drop me like a guillotine
Rusted or sharp, just make it a clean sweep

I'm only using you
Be my shoulder, be my muse
But no PDAs or I'll act confused
'Cause I'm not in love with you
We're not all bastards down at heart
It's just ulterior motives really get us off

[Chorus:]
Drop me like a guillotine
Sever all ties and give me a clean sheet
Go on, drop me like a guillotine
Rusted or sharp, just make it a clean sweep
Go on, drop me like a guillotine
Sever all ties and give me a clean sheet
Go on, drop me like a guillotine
You work so hard, wanna work on forgetting me?

[Post-Chorus:]
Wanna work on forgetting me?
Wanna work on forgetting me?
Wanna work on forgetting me?
Drop me like a guillotine

[Outro:]
I'm not in love with you
I'm a coward and a thief
I write words that I should never sing
