lyrics

How do you do?
We’ve been over this before
In this very room
Twenty-four hours ago
Since then I’ve been
Whistling this tune
And mopping the spills from the
Floor

Ignore me when I try
See the stain come out with lye
Too tired for regret
See your favorite sweater’s not been ruined yet
Have you ever really listened to me?
What’s that I can’t hear you over the
Dinner’s ready get dressed
See your favorite sweater’s not been ruined yet


You fell asleep, to Mister
Lehrer’s newsy hour
Should have stayed in school
But you robbed me blind of all my power
Go smoke in the
Garden again
I get dizzy from the smell of the
Flowers


I won’t tell you how I’m filled with doubt
We’re overdrawn in the checking account
I wish I had just one good friend
I’ll ask the neighbors if they’ve any money to lend
No pill could fully kill this pain
Well I’d buy some for you if we had any
Money/my knee’s been acting up again
But the hole in the sweater wasn’t a problem to mend


What time is it?
I’ve been offered a new job
Pays a little more
But we’d have to move ourselves abroad
Fine with me I’ve got
Wandering feet
and we’ve been in the town far too
long


It’s a marriage no one can see
Inside to know if it’s working
Time she is a redeemer of
All things good and faulty-hearted



It’s a marriage no one can see Time she is a
Inside to know if it’s working redeemer of
Time she is a redeemer of all things good and
All things good and faulty-hearted faulty-hearted



I won’t leave you
You’re the only
Person I know
In this country




I won’t leave *you* I won’t leave you
You’re the only I won’t leave you
Person I know Person I know
In this country I
