I woke up this morning with bruises
and I don't remember where they came from
so I got off the bed and I saw that sheets were ripped from the springs of the mattress
The mattress springs
Strange bruises
oh bruises from my mattress
So I set off outside plonking down the street I was gonna buy a new bed,
then I got to the corner and saw there were piles of crumbling furniture
It was Kerbside Pickup on your street corner
It was kerside
All of your old things
and I seen that you'd thrown out your mattress
I'll pick that up thanks
and I'll take it back to my bedroom
where I'll sleep on it tonight
now I'm sleeping in your bed
but it's not you it's me instead
I'm sleeping in your bed
just the way I always wanted
