Current Wife

from Sceptre by Laurie Shaw

lyrics

She was a part taker in our complex kiss
Elaine always stressed the importance of a post-coital piss
In a world between knowledge gaps, the pop singer is king
In a world of assless chaps, you’ve got to watch where you’re sitting

Going to fight in the summer of the call-out sheet
I woke up too late to meet you for a drink
Got way-laid when you were inches from the brink
But I know exactly what you want
Don’t think I don’t know what you want, baby
Christ I hate people saying baby

Some people just can’t read the room
It’s people like that who end baby booms
It’s people like that who like to hang platitudes
All over their walls and their downstairs bathrooms

I didn’t run after you 7 a.m. flight
Yeahg I like you but it’s not love alright
It could have been love if you’d come into my life
A little earlier than my current wife

I don’t believe in the stone reliefs of Moses
I just believe in me
Should you really treat people how you’d like to be treated?
Some people like to be tied up and whipped!

I didn’t run after your 7 a.m. flight
Would have been nice but it’s not love alright
It could have been love if you’d come into my life
A little earlier than my current wife
Is that alright?
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
