Too Late To Come Fishing Tab

Too Late To Come Fishing 

     			   
When you were a vixen and I was a chump
    			  
You looked at me like I crawled from a swamp
    		   
Now things have a different complexion
		   
I'm the object of your affection
				  
Much as I don't doubt your expertise
				    
Find yourself another hunk to squeeze

Chorus:
                         
Cause it's too late to come fishing
                   
It's too late to come fishing
                                      
It's too late and the fish don't like your bait
		                   
Tin Pan Ellie better find your way home

I know I had the flair, the clothes
Made you look right down your nose
But now you want to make a new start
I'm so touched by your change of heart
But my diary's fit to overflow
Find yourself another gigolo

Chorus

I've seen your work in that TV sketch
Playing poison women is hardly a stretch
And you were type-cast as the Stone Age charmer
In that Darwin docudrama
I'd say our time has all but disappeared
Just like the shine on your fabulous career

Chorus
