Famous Wendy Cope Quotes

“My heart has made its mind up
And I’m afraid it’s you.
Whatever you’ve got lined up,
My heart has made its mind up
And if you can’t be signed up
This year, next year will do.
My heart has made its mind up
And I’m afraid it’s you.”

“The day he moved out was terrible –
That evening she went through hell.
His absence wasn’t a problem
But the corkscrew had gone as well.”

“Bloody men are like bloody buses -
You wait for about a year
And as soon as one approaches your stop
Two or three others appear.”

Bloody men, in: Serious Concerns, (1992)
