[Verse 1]
APretty Philistine, kBmnocking back the rosé wine
Ddid you think that at the time, Ethings would ever change
AYou stole your eyes straight from julBmy, and your lips from June
DWhen they asked you for the EartEh, you took them to the AMoon
[Chorus]
DAnd oh what a Efabulous Afall from grace

APretty Philistine, I Bmused to wish that you were mine
DWhilst the others stood in line, Ei would never wait
AAll the stories became true, hBme didnt marry
Dand now theres nothing left to dEo but contemplate
