The World And His Wife |
The family circle gather round from very far and near |
To pass around the same remarks they passed away last year |
The little girl you dangle on your knee without mishap |
Stirs something in your memory |
And something in your lap |
But it’s a living |
This is the life |
For the world and his wife |
The world and his wife |
The kissing cousins slip outside to cuddle and confess |
She says sweet nothing at all it’s much more of a mess |
The conversation melts like chocolate down their open jaws |
As the juniper berry slips down just like last night’s drawers |
To tell the truth our Mum ran off with someone else father |
Went for two weeks holiday in taramasalata |
Daddy went out with the rubbish and he kept on walking |
Between Mum and the walls |
God only knows who does the talking |
But later on in the evening through the tears and folder |
Come the sentimental feelings for the lure of vitriol |
Longing thoughts go hankering for the old home overseas |
With a blindfold and a national anthem |
Sung in different keys |
