"A Big Comeuppance" lyrics

A big comeuppance is a thing'll
Bring you down to the ground
A big comeuppance says tonight
You won't be wearing no crown
You never see it comin' from nowhere
Especially not no strawberry blonde
A big comeuppance is a thing you'll
Have to make it beyond

A big comeuppance is a thing'll
Put a dent in your day
A big comeuppance is a thing
That won't leave much you can say
You know it's going to mess
Up your weekend
However hard you try to pretend
A big comeuppance brings a lot of
Stuff you thought to an end

I mean to tell you, I mean to tell you
I mean to tell you so
You might as well, you, you might
As well, you, you might as well now know

A big comeuppance is a thing'll
Shoot you down from your perch
A big comeuppance says you'll
Have to re-assess your research
She only drove back up here to tell you
Some words she'd been rehearsing I'll bet
A big comeuppance is a thing I guess
You won't soon forget

I mean to tell you, I mean to tell you
I mean to tell you so
You might as well, you, you might
As well, you, you might as well now know

A big comeuppance is a thing'll
Put you back in your place
A big comeuppance is a thing'll
Throw some facts in your face
You think you're not gon' let it affect you
It's only what it is cause it's true
A big comeuppance is a thing that's
Not like nothin' you knew
