billy bragg - honey i'm a big boy now lyrics

Loading...

i can see the kitchen light
from the road where i park my bike
but it’s dark there as it often is these days
and the gloomy living room
really needs a dust and broom
but i can’t brush your memory away

her father was an admiral
in someone else’s navy
and she had seen the world before i met her
she would wash and cook and clean
and all the other things between
and like a fool i just sat there and let her

now i can feed and dress and wash myself
and sleep without the light on
honey, i’m a big boy now
i don’t know what she does
with all the money that i sent her
she’s running ’round the town with a young pretender

i haven’t touched the garden
since the day she walked away
from a love affair that bore only bitter fruit
she took everything she wanted
which is why she left me here
with these pots and pans and my old wedding suit

a letter came one morning
that she would not let me see
and from that day i began to realize
that she would one day break
the home we tried to make
for sinners cannot live in paradise

now i can feed and dress and wash myself
and sleep without the light on
honey, i’m a big boy now
i don’t know what she does
with all the money that i sent her
she’s running ’round the town with a young pretender

i don’t know what she does
with all the money that i sent her
she’s running ’round the town with a young pretender
