Over and Done With (Nicky Campbell BBC Radio session 6/1/89) Songtext
von The Proclaimers

This is the story of our first teacher
Shetland made her jumpers
And the devil made her features
Threw up her hands when my mum said our names
Embroidered all her stories with slanderous claims

It′s over and done with
It's over and done with
It′s over and done with
It's over and done with
It's over and done with
It′s over, it′s over
It's over and done with, yes, he lead me here

This is the story of losing my virginity (oh, oh)
I held my breath and the fey held a trinity
People I′m making no claims to no mystery (yeah)
But sometimes it feel like
My sex life's all history


It′s over and done with
It's over and done with
It′s over and done with
It's over and done with
It's over and done with
It′s over, it′s over
It's over and done with, yeah, yeah

I′m not saying these events didn't
Touch our lives in any way
But, ah-ah, ha-ha, they didn′t make the impression
That some people say

This is the story of watching a man dying
The subject's unpopular
But I don′t feel like lying
When I think of it now I acted like a sinner
I just washed my hands
Then I went for my dinner

(That's all you did?)
(Did you wash your hands in water?)
It's over and done with
It′s over and done with
It′s over and done with
It's over and done with
It′s over and done with
It's over, it′s over
It's over and done with, yeah, yeah


Hey, it′s over, hey, it's over
Hey, it's over and done with
Hey, it′s over, hey, it′s over
Hey, it's over and done with
It′s over (it's over), it′s over (it's over)
It′s over (it's over), it's over, yeah (it′s over and over)
Ah, oh, oh-whoa
