I Can't Go Back To Savoury Now by John Shuttleworth

I Can't Go Back To Savoury Now

D	Em7	F#m	Em7
My wife Mary	made a lovely	Shepherd's Pie and	peas

	D	Bm	F#m
With	carrots and gravy, oh and	cabbage as an ad	ditional green

I said "That looks fantastic love" and I tucked in hungrily

My daughter Karen did not, something I wish I had seen

For soon my plate was empty I said "Mary is there any more?"

She said "No love but its treacle sponge for afters" and I said "Pwoar"

I had a couple of mouthfuls when I heard Karen declare

"I can't eat anymore of this Shepherd's Pie mum"

	G	D
Well it	filled me with des	pair

Em7	F#m	A
Because if I'd	had known I would	have had it, you know (spoken)

	G	A	F#m	Bm
But I	can't go back to	savoury	now

	G	A	F#m	Bm	A
That	Sheppard's Pie was	stunning but I'm	half way through me	pudding

	G	A	F#m	Bm A
I	can't go back to	savoury	now

	G	Gm	D	Em7	A
My	taste buds would go crazy, I	can't go back to savoury	now

	D	Em7	F#m	Em7
My	tummy was in	turmoil, I was	panicked and con	fused

	D	Bm	F#m
And as	Karen's dinner grew	colder, so	did my sweet (spoken)

For my pleasure in that treacle sponge was massively reduced

By the site of fluffy potato and glistening meat (spoken)

G	A
Take this plate from me o Lord be	fore I go insane

	Em	F#m	A
Should I	press on with my afters, or	go back to me	main

Chorus

	D	F	G	Bb
I	Can't go back, I	wont go back, I'd	love to go back but I	mustn't do that

	D	F	G	Bb	A
I	Can't go back, I	wont go back, Obviously I'd	love to go back but I	mustn't do that

D	Em7	F#m	Em7
At that moment I	heard a sound, the	scrape of knife on	plate

	D	Bm	F#m
As I	watched Karen's	dinner go in the	dog's dish (spoken)

My appetite now gone, my pudding suffered the same fate

	G	D
I can only assume this appalling outcome...	was	God's wish

Chorus

	G	D
No I	can't go back to savoury	now
