Third Party, Fire and Theft |
I’ve got a good track record |
For taking the hurdles blind |
Off at the crack of dawn with Virginia on my mind |
I’m the man they call upon to drum up a thousand pounds |
Lately Ginny can’t raise me ready |
For the country roads inside her dressing gown |
Any day now the adulterer will arrive in my suburb |
Knock at the door with a pretext to enter my Habitat house |
There are black cats in the sheets, I’ve been anticipating trouble |
Next thing you know he’ll be sweeping the ash from the sack |
Next thing you know he’ll be giving her |
A piece of his mind on her back |
Sweeping the ash from the sack |
Isn’t it good to know |
You’ve got third party, fire and theft? |
We used to be a well-matched wrestle |
Used to set the bed on fire |
But I got high cholesterol and Virginia low tar |
In the mirror I’m managing director |
The bedroom’s plant and staff |
The only thing in line for promotion though |
Is Virginia’s derisory laugh |
Any day now the adulterer will arrive in my suburb |
Knock at the door with a pretext to enter my Charles Church house |
There are Number 10s in the sheets, I’ve been anticipating trouble |
Next thing you know he’ll be sweeping the ash from my sack |
Next thing you know he’ll be giving her |
A piece of his mind on her back |
Sweeping the ash from the sack |
Isn’t it good to know |
You’ve got third party, fire and theft? |
Last call for the cock of the walk |
He’s first in line for the fist |
But cuff-links don’t suit fisticuffs and I can’t afford to sprain my wrist |
So limp and pale from the wear and tear |
Of high-powered, hard-nosed lives |
Me and my ilk write him fat blank cheques |
On our naked, waiting wives |
Any day now the adulterer will arrive in our suburbs |
Knock at the door with a Durex to enter my Laura Ashley wives |
The Marlboro Man’s intervening in the sheets, anticipating trouble |
Next thing you know he’ll be sweeping the ash from the sack |
Next thing you know he’ll be giving us |
A piece of his mind on our backs |
Sweeping the ash from the sack |
Isn’t it good to know |
You’ve got third party, fire … |
… And theft |
Next thing you know he’ll be sweeping the ash from our sack |
Next thing you know he’ll be giving us |
A piece of his mind on our backs |
Sweeping the ash from the sack |
Isn’t it good to know? |
