Lyrics And Then I Read A Book - The Associates

And Then I Read A Book

You gave up my career;
promotion was in sight
And just to keep the peace I keep my mouth shut
Filling hours with others takes up too much time
I’m always catching colds: I never seem to shake them off
You’re never coming home
I cook some food for you
It lies there getting cold
And then I clean my shoes
And then I clean my shoes
I’ve got so many shoes
And then, within the same breath, you turn around and say
«It's just that I’ve never been in the position
As to something sensible being drawn out of me»
I had this awful dream that all my teeth fell out
I couldn’t live this way so I slept for days on end
If my legs were made of wood you would have never talked to me
And so it goes to show that all you want’s above the knee
You’re never coming home
I cook some food for you
It lies there getting cold
And then I clean my shoes
And then I clean my shoes
I’ve got so many shoes
And then, within the same breath, you turn around and say
«It's just that I’ve never been in the position
As to something sensible being drawn out of me»
You’re never coming home
I cook some food for you
It lies there getting cold
And then I clean my shoes
And then I clean my shoes
I’ve got so many shoes
And then, within the same breath, you turn around and say
«It's just that I’ve never been in the position
As to something sensible being drawn out of me»
