Toyah - Wife lyrics

rate me

(Willcox)<br />

This is your five minute call five minutes ladies and gentlemen thank you<br />

Where's my lunch?<br />

Where's my fucking lunch?<br />

Big big tears<br />

By the bright blue sea<br />

As deep as forever<br />

Oh Shirley, Shirley Valentine<br />

If only mother found<br />

What you found<br />

I wouldn't be here, dreaming<br />

Salutations dear listener<br />

This is a comedy in three acts<br />

Breakfast, lunch and tea<br />

And they better not be late<br />

Here he comes<br />

Through the bordello doors<br />

I kowtow to my pimp<br />

I'm a good little whore<br />

Hello wall<br />

Nice to see you wall<br />

Good day at the office wall<br />

Your dinner's on the floor darling<br />

And scrape me off the ceiling<br />

Well I'm a mercenary wife<br />

Where it complies<br />

I compromise<br />

I only wear this skin<br />

'Cos I sinned in m'past life<br />

I want war<br />

And you want me<br />

I want war<br />

And you want breakfast, lunch and tea<br />

On stage please, on stage, thank you.<br />

Sweat drips off my brow<br />

I know my lines, my moves<br />

My place in life<br />

And it's ticking away<br />

I'm not going on tonight<br />

That insecure feeling<br />

A void of nothing-ness<br />

I'm dripping away<br />

Well I'm a mercenary wife<br />

I want what money buys<br />

I only wear this skin<br />

Cos I sinned in m'past life<br />

I want war<br />

And you want me<br />

I want war<br />

And you want breakfast, lunch and tea
