WHAT'S THE USE
      
      words and music by Jimmy Nail
      
      I broke my world in pieces yesterday
      I woke to find my angel gone away/astray
      I was loud and I was strong
      I was proud but I was wrong
      didn't realise the price I'd have to pay
      
      long ago when sharing things was new
      I did the things I thought a man should do
      so I tried to break her will
      but it was me who paid the bill
      'cause instead of breaking one heart
      I broke two
      
      what's the use in askin' where she's been to
      what's the use in askin' what she's done
      I'm the one who told her she was leavin'
      so what's the use in askin' where she's gone
      
      loneliness is tearin' me apart
      I swear to God I'll make a brand new start
      so I'm on the telephone
      sayin' angel, please come home
      before you break your poor old daddy's heart
      
      what's the use in askin' where she's been to
      what's the use in askin' what she's done
      I'm the one who told her she was leavin'
      so what's the use in askin' where she's gone

      anything you need I'll be there/I'm tryin'
      heaven knows I'm cryin;'
      angel
      
      what's the use in askin' where she's been to
      what's the use in askin' what she's done
      I'm the one who told her she was leavin'
      so what's the use in askin' where she's gone
