...And In Every Home |
| You turn to the sinister when you get the boot |
| Sliding down the banister in your Sunday suit |
| Lying on a slag heap of blankets and magazines |
| She’s only thirty-five going on seventeen |
| You’d better roll over and go to sleep if you don’t come clean |
| (And in every home) |
| And in every home there will be lots of time |
| I will be all yours you might have been admired |
| And in every home there will be lots of time |
| They say they’re very sorry but you are not desired |
| Oh heaven preserve us |
| Oh heaven preserve us |
| Oh heaven preserve us |
| Because they don’t deserve us |
| Holding your life in your hand |
| With an artificial limp wrist |
| And so a young blade becomes a has-been |
| Looking for a new twist |
| A year after the wedding he broke all their china plates |
| He’s in prison now she’s running with his mates |
| Sees him every Sunday |
| And he asks her where she’s been |
| She’s only thirty-five going on seventeen |
| She’s going to cop a packet if he ever finds her |
| In between the sheets |
| (And in every home) |
| And in every home there will be lots of time |
| I will be all yours you might have been admired |
| And in every home there will be lots of time |
| They say they’re very sorry but you are not desired |
| Oh heaven preserve us |
| Oh heaven preserve us |
| Oh heaven preserve us |
| Because they don’t deserve us |
| And in every home there will be lots of time |
| I will be all yours you might have been admired |
| Oh heaven preserve us |
| Oh heaven preserve us |
| Oh heaven preserve us |
| Because they don’t deserve us |
| And in every home |
| And in every home |
| And in every home |
| And in every home |
