Billy Bragg - The Short Answer слова песни
Between marx and marzipan in the dictionary there was maryBetween the deep blue sea and the devil that was meIf ever anyone could help me with my obsession withThe young suzannah yorkIt was maryIn my pink pyjamas she asked me for somethingI gave her the short answerShe read our stars out loudAnd I knew then that we should have gone sailingBut we stayed home insteadFighting on the waterbedLike the honeymoon couple on drugsMe and maryWhat happened in the pastRemained a mystery of natural historyShe should have been the lastBut she was just the latestIf she wanted to be a farmers wifeI would endure that muddy lifeI would dig for victoryAnd the sound of happy couplesCoupling happily in the darkWhile you and I sat down to teaI remember you said to meThat no amount of poetryWould mend this broken heartBut you can put the hoover roundIf you want to make a startAll my friends from schoolIntroduce me to their spousesWhile Im left standing hereWith my hands down the front of my trousersI just dont know whats to be doneI wonder sometimes how did dad meet mumAnd how did they conceive of meTell my maryThe boys who came to the shopAlways made her laugh much more than I didWhen I told her this must stopShe didnt bat an eyelidShe said you know honey its such a shameYoull never be any good at this gameYou bruise too easilySo said maryHer two brothers took me outOf circulation for the durationSo we went our separate ways but does she still love meShe still has my door keyLike a bully boy in a benetton shopYoure never happy with what youve gotTill what youve got is goneSorry mary
