I bloody love this song :) Clam Abuse are one of Ginger's (from The Wildhearts)
many side projects. Their music makes me grin.

First there was Harry, I thought we'd get married

Get a house, settle down, have a couple of kids

Tuesday they nailed down the lid

His first cousin Sammy flew in from Miami

To give me a shoulder on which I could cry
B
I was nearly a sinner 'til one night at dinner
A B E
He choked on my mom's apple pie

Unlucky in love, unlucky in love
B A E
All of my lovers reside up above

I hate to admit it but when push comes to shove
A B E
I guess I'm unlucky in love

Johnny came later, a smooth operator
A
He fixed up the barn and he swept me away
B
Spontaneous combustion made quite a reduction
A E
To any love made in the hay

For days I was grieving until I met Steven
A
Who worked for the Salvation Army in town
B
But God gives diseases to whoever he pleases
A B E
And Steven's with Jesus right now

Unlucky in love, unlucky in love

All of my lovers reside up above

I hate to admit it but when push comes to shove

Timmy and Trevor had a car crash together
B
And Jack had a heart attack mowing' the lawn

And then they found David with his head amputated

Has never been more than unlucky to me

So now I'm surviving because I'm muff-diving

I'd like y'all to meet Anne-Marie
