robyn hitchcock and the egyptians - my wife and my dead wife (live) lyrics

Loading...

my wife lies down on a chair
and stares into air
i know she’s there
i’m making coffee for two
coffee for two
but i come back in with coffee for three
coffee for three?

my dead wife sits in a chair
peeling a pear
i know she’s there
she wanders off to the bed
shaking her head
“robyn,” she said
“you know i don’t take sugar!”

my wife and my dead wife
am i the only one that sees her?
my wife and my dead wife
doesn’t anybody see her at all?
no, no no, no no no no

my wife sits down in a chair
combing her hair
there’s no one there
i’m drilling holes in the wall
holes in the wall
i turn round and my dead wife’s upstairs
she’s still wearing flares
she talks out loud but no one hears

my wife and my dead wife
am i the only one that sees her?
my wife and my dead wife
doesn’t anybody see her at all?
no, no no, no no no no

and i can’t decide which one i love the most
the flesh and blood or the pale, smiling ghost

my wife lies down on the beach
she’s sucking a peach
she’s out of reach
of the waves that crash on the sand
where my dead wife stands
holding my hand

now my wife can’t swim
but neither could she
and deep in the sea
she’s waiting for me
she’s waiting for me

oh, i’m such a lucky guy
’cause i’ve got you baby and i’ll never be lonely

my wife and my dead wife
am i the only one that sees her?
my wife and my dead wife
doesn’t anybody see her at all?
no, no no, no, no no no no
no, no no, no, no no no…

-thank you. now this is “brenda’s iron sledge”
