Bonus

Company performance on the up
My whole team's doing good
Got myself a bonus
Cause my contract says I should

Wonder what to blow it on
Shoes, or clothes or bling?
Something to make me feel special
I guess that's the thing

Want to remember what I buy
Treasure it always
As the pay off for the times of stress
And all those busy days

Would be easy to just blow it
Not give a second thought
To the arguments, the battles
Of a merger that was fraught

What did I buy last the time
A bonus came my way
I wrack my brains, my memory
Can't recall, I'm sad to say

This time I'll do better
Will be a gift of quality
Something tangible, in my hand
That's my solemn promise to me

Makes me think of all the things
I've squandered through the years
My drawers are full up to the brim
It makes me well up full of tears

And what of things that aren't mine
I don't know what I did to earn
But they're lavished on me now
I hope one day that I'll learn

What I did to earn the bonus
Of your friendship and your love
Why it feels like this is heaven
Sent from high above

Trust one day you will explain
Why you landed at my door
With words that melted me
And oh so so much more

Hope I never squander
The special things you give to me
Hope I treasure them always
And in turn make you happy
