Business as usual at the harmony home

Up for the weekend to see my father

So I'm the one beneath the unturned stone

I begin the ritual fortnight saga

Get in the cab, bags packed with clothes

Cassette player, the jungle of hose

A pair of shoes for walking in

Out of the cab, the doorbell rings

Hungover greetings from the man in my life

A hug, a kiss, and a mug by the fire

He says I should need a woman I might like

I drop my bags and walk right by her

Get in the bath, bubbles up high

Cassette player plays in the night

She's at the door, wants to come in

I'm in the bath, I loudly sing

Business as usual at the harmony home

I can't believe it how time flies

I'm waving "Seeya" from the top of the road

She holds his hand as mother holds mine

Get in the way, unbreak my heart

I could surrender, or walk right past

I'm in a cab, looking at him

Out of the blue I hear a bell ring

Get in the cab, bags packed with clothes

I'm on my way to the haemony home

A pair of shoes for walking in

Out of the blue I hear a bell ring
