You say you don t desire me
she s only a hired hand
now you are tired of me.
Expensive care is meaningless
feeling nothing and caring less.
Cut off at the pass
she knows where you were headed
she wants double-time or a temporary wedding.
And the lucky girl leads a life of leisure
though she? with forty-five years
for seconds of pleasure.
I thought I knew you too well
now I find the man is a mystery
and the promises you made
are really only ancient history.
Everyday goes by without a hitch
you say the urge becomes an itch.
You say that I m no go for youthat s rich
or am I being bitchy?
And the lucky girl leads a life of leisure
though she forty-five years
for seconds of pleasure.
And the hands on the clock move so precisley
You say you only kissed her once or twice.
You didn t do it for loveyou didn t even do it with stealth.
I can t help you now
I can t help myself.
Commited to life and then commuted to the outskirts.
I was living for thirty minutes at a time
with a break in the middle for adverts.
You treat me like a piece of human furniture.
You say when? you sad soul
if you can look all that you like
but I won t let you touch and poke.
And the lucky girl leads a life of leisure
though she ? forty-five years
for seconds of pleasure.
