Your Fault / Last Midnight

Lyrics

It's because of you there's a giant in our midst and my wife is dead
 But it isn't my fault I was given those beans
 You persuaded me to trade away my cow for beans
 And without those beans, there'd have been no stalk
 To get up to the giant in the first place
 Wait a minute, magic beans for a cow so old
 That you had to tell a lie to sell it, which you told
 Were they worthless beans? Were they oversold?
 Oh, and tell us who persuaded you to steal that gold
 See, it's your fault (no)
 So it's your fault (no)
 Yes, it is (it's not)
 It's true
 Wait a minute, but I only stole the gold to get my cow back from you
 So it's your fault (yes)
 No, it isn't!
 I'd have kept those beans, but our house was cursed
 She made us get a cow to get the curse reversed
 It's his father's fault that the curse got placed and the place got cursed in the first place
 Oh, then it's his fault (so)
 It was his fault (no)
 Yes, it is, it's his
 I guess
 Wait a minute, though
 I chopped down the beanstalk, right? That's clear
 But without any beanstalk, then what's queer is
 How did the second giant get down here in the first place?
 Second place (yes, how?)
 Well, who had the other bean?
 The other bean? (The other bean?)
 You pocketed the other bean
 I didn't! Yes, I did
 (So it's your f-) No, it isn't, cause I gave it to my wife!
 (So it's her f-) No, it isn't!
 Then whose is it?
 Wait a minute, she exchanged that bean to obtain your shoe
 So the one who knows what happened to the bean is you
 You mean that old bean, that your wife, oh, dear
 But I never knew, and so I threw, well, don't look here
 So it's your fault (but)
 See, it's her fault (but)
 And it isn't mine at all!
 But what?
 Well, if you hadn't gone back up again
 We were needy
 You were greedy, did you need that hen?
 But I got it for my mother
 So it's her fault then
 Yes, and what about the harp in the third place?
 The harp, yes
 She went and dared me to
 I dared you to?
 You dared me to
 She said that I was scared to. She dared me
 No, I didn't (So it's your fault)
 Wait a minute
 If you hadn't dared him to
 And you had left the harp alone
 We wouldn't be in trouble in the first place (well, if you hadn't thrown away the bean in the first place)
 (It was your fault)
 Well, if she hadn't raised them in the first place (yes, if you hadn't raised them in the first place)
 Right, it's you who raised them in the first place (you raised the beans in the first place)
 It's your fault!
 You're responsible! You're the one to blame! It's your fault!
 Shhh
 It's the last midnight
 It's the last wish
 It's the last midnight
 Soon it will be boom, squish
 Told a little lie, stole a little gold
 Broke a little vow, did you?
 Had to get your prince, had to get your cow
 Have to get your wish, doesn't matter how
 Anyway, it doesn't matter now
 It's the last midnight
 It's the boom, splat
 Nothing but a vast midnight
 Everybody smashed flat
 Nothing we can do, not exactly true
 We can always give her the boy
 No? No, of course, what really matters is the blame
 Somebody to blame
 Fine, if that's the thing you enjoy, placing the blame
 If that's the aim, give me the blame
 Just give me the boy (no!)
 No
 You're so nice
 You're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice
 I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right
 I'm the witch, you're the world
 I'm the hitch, I'm what no one believes, I'm the witch
 You're all liars and thieves like his father
 Like his son will be too, oh, why bother?
 You'll just do what you do
 It's the last midnight
 So goodbye, all
 Coming at you fast, midnight
 Soon you'll see the sky fall
 Here, you want a bean?
 Have another bean
 Beans were made for making you rich
 Plant them and they soar
 Here, you want some more?
 Listen to the roar, giants by the score
 Oh well, you can blame another witch
 It's the last midnight
 It's the last verse
 Now, before it's past midnight
 I'm leaving you my last curse
 I'm leaving you alone
 You can tend the garden, it's yours
 Separate and alone
 Everybody down on all fours
 All right, mother, when?
 Lost the beans again
 Punish me the way you did then
 Give me claws and a hunch
 Just away from this bunch
 And the gloom, and the doom, and the boom
