Benny's Ex from Footpaths by The Bone Folders

Benny sputtered into town in a cloud of diesel
With a shattered heart in a clapped-out transit van
He said: “My woman just done me over like a cold assassain,
and I never want to see her face again”

So I let him stay with me, while he got sorted
And had to sit through endless tales about his ex
Until one night I came home to find Benny packing
He said: “She wants me back, and I really miss the sex”

(mate) If you can’t see, what’s around the corner
Then don’t go driving blindly around the bend
And just don’t say, that I never warned ya
When a world of shit comes flying at your head

Years later near Benny’s town I found me a woman
She was scarily familiar for someone I had never seen
But now I realise it’s Benny’s ex who is doing me
Because Benny’s voice keeps ringing in my brain

If you can’t see, what’s around the corner
Then don’t go driving blindly around the bend
And just don’t say, that I never warned ya
When a world of shit comes flying at your head
