Lyrics Someone Else's Wife - The Go-Betweens

Someone Else's Wife

Can’t find my way down my own street
Got to get my dream feet back on its feet
I’m trapped in my house
On first name terms with its mouse
Don’t say this house is a shack
We had it once, can I get it back?
It’s a fine line between love and despair
Do you know the times I’ve waited on your stair?
Don’t say you’ve got a home and new life
I won’t stand in your way 'cause
You’re someone else’s wife
I’m trying to set things straight
But I can’t see straight
I’m gonna drive if it takes me years
Gotta learn to live with fear
Don’t say this house is a shack
Lightning hit it so I struck back
It’s a fine line between love and despair
Do you know the times I’ve waited on your stair?
Don’t say you’ve got a home and new life
I won’t stand in your way 'cause
You’re someone else’s wife
Don’t say this house is a shack
Thunder cracked so I cracked back
It’s a fine line between love and despair
Do you know the times I’ve waited on your stair?
Don’t say you’ve got a home and new life
I won’t stand in your way 'cause
You’re someone else’s wife
