toyah - wife lyrics
(willc-x)
this is your five minute call five minutes ladies and gentlemen thank you
where’s my lunch?
where’s my f-cking lunch?
big big tears
by the bright blue sea
as deep as forever
oh shirley, shirley valentine
if only mother found
what you found
i wouldn’t be here, dreaming
salutations dear listener
this is a comedy in three acts
breakfast, lunch and tea
and they better not be late
here he comes
through the bordello doors
i kowtow to my pimp
i’m a good little wh-r-
h-llo wall
nice to see you wall
good day at the office wall
your dinner’s on the floor darling
and scr-pe me off the ceiling
well i’m a mercenary wife
where it complies
i compromise
i only wear this skin
‘cos i sinned in m’past life
i want war
and you want me
i want war
and you want breakfast, lunch and tea
on stage please, on stage, thank you.
sweat drips off my brow
i know my lines, my moves
my place in life
and it’s ticking away
i’m not going on tonight
that insecure feeling
a void of nothing-ness
i’m dripping away
well i’m a mercenary wife
i want what money buys
i only wear this skin
cos i sinned in m’past life
i want war
and you want me
i want war
and you want breakfast, lunch and tea
