Track 7 of the album 'Tropical Brainstorm'

----------------------------------------

Oh you shouldn't have kissed me and got me so excited

And when you asked me out I really was delighted

So we went to a pub in Belsize Park

And we cheered on England as the sky grew dark

Oh you shouldn't have kissed me cause you started a fire

But then I found out that you're a serial liar

You lied about your status

You lied about your life

You never mentioned your three children

And the fact you have a wife

Now it's England 2 Colombia 0

And I know just how those Colombians feel

If you hadn't passed out while I was talking to your friend

It could have really ended badly cause you very nearly had me

If he hadn't taken pity on my heart full of desire

I might never have found out you're a serial liar

You lied about your status

You lied about your life

You forgot you have three children

You forgot you have a wife

Now it's England 2 Colombia 0

And I know just how those Colombians feel

It is not in my nature to ever pick the winning team

Sometimes I think I'm happy then I remember it's a dream

Now it isn't in my nature to ever pick a winner

I always pick a bastard who would have me for his dinner

I can never possess the object of my desire

Cause he's bound to turn out to be a serial liar

OK I didn't mention my kids, I thought I'd wait a bit

But I am free and single and he's a lying git

Cause he lied about his status

He lied about his life

He forgot he had three children

He forgot he had a wife

And it's England 2 Colombia 0

I know just how those Colombians feel

So I got into a taxi and sobbed all the way home

Called my friend up in Sao Paulo and cried down the phone

I played some tragic music and I lay down to die

But later I woke and I hadn't stopped crying

You should never have kissed me, you tasted of deceit

Your perfume was Adultery but I'm not a piece of meat

So I'll be the one that you couldn't acquire

I found out in time you're a serial liar

You lied about your status

You lied about your life

And I pity your three children

And I pity your poor wife

Now you can go to Hell

I'm going to Brazil

Still it's England 2 Colombia 0

England 2 Columbia 0 was a result in the 1998 football World Cup. In the song. She is watching the match in a pub at Belsize Park London. It is there she discovers her partner's lies and deceit. She likens her disappointment with the Columbian people at that particular time. Hence the line ... " Now it's England 2 Columbia 0 Now I know how those Columbians feel."

It's cos the lier had 2, his wife and Kirsty, he was England. She had no one, she was Colombia.

thanks for correcting my mistake so 'politely', and Columbia is actually a real place, fyi...whereas 'terkee' or 'irac' are not, so you can't really compare it.

@Wolfrunner326 I think she was making an analogy among her life and the loser team, she felt so bad as Colombia squad bad too because they were 2-0 under.When he's composed the song she was watching the game.
