Lyrics

A homewrecker stalks the streets of this city
Avoiding the issue, still trying to believe:
He's biggest, the strongest, the fittest, the longest
And his wife and his kids are asleep

Oh, here comes the homewrecker (homewrecker)
Going down with all hands tonight, yeah
Here comes the homewrecker (homewrecker)
What a tragic waste of life

And don't you know? (And don't you know?)
You're just like everybody else
And don't you know? (And don't you know?)
Everyone fails, or they fall, let you down, one and all, everyone, yesirree, everybody, except me!

Oh, here comes the homewrecker (homewrecker)
Going down with all hands tonight
Yeah, here comes the homewrecker (homewrecker)
What a tragic waste of life

And don't you know? (And don't you know?)
You're just like everybody else
And don't you know? (And don't you know?)
Oh, they all sell out in the end, all grow up and drop their friends, face the facts, knuckle down, capitulate, scrape and bow
Everybody, everyone, alles meschen, tout le monde, everybody, yesirree. Everybody! Everybody! Everybody! Everybody! Except me!

Jarvis' comments

Press release, March 2009:

Homewrecker! is an absolute racket featuring saxophone from Steve Mackay (he played on The Stooges Funhouse, you know).

NME website, 26 May 2009:

There's a homewrecker within all of us. Well, maybe more the male of the species.
