about

A song about marriage. Always fun to play, given that The Razorbills includes a married couple in the lineup...

lyrics

Well it was love-15 at the start of the day
because I hadn't swept the floor or put the washing away
I had to gain some ground, had to gain it fast
so I recalled an anniversary that you'd let pass
Well the look in your eyes said you couldn't be beat
and then you breast-fed the baby and I couldn't compete
And things we used to do for love,
now we do for advantage
long ago we spoke as one
now it's a different language

As we walked down the road I took your arm
so the world could bask in my selfless charm
When our friends came round you wouldn't get off my knee
and when tempers flared it got blamed on me
Well I wrote you a song about how I feel
and you fought right back with a three course meal
Andf things we used to do for love
now we do for advantage
long ago we spoke as one
now it's a different language

But once in a while we both call time
put down our weapons, shake hands on the line
and your eyes, your smiling eyes meet mine
and I like that, I like that fine.
