Back to The Beautiful South

Lyrics

[00:19.47] Think of you with pipe and slippers
[00:22.11] Think of her in bed
[00:24.24] Laying there just watching telly
[00:26.81] Think of me instead
[00:29.02] I'll never grow so old and flabby
[00:31.89] That could never be
[00:33.71] Don't marry her, fuck me
[00:38.45] And your love light shines like cardboard
[00:41.05] But your work shoes are glistening
[00:43.45] She's a PhD in "I told you so"
[00:46.75] You've a knighthood in "I'm not listening"
[00:48.28] She'll grab your sweaty bollocks
[00:50.82] Then slowly raise her knee
[00:53.32] Don't marry her, fuck me
[00:57.73] And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco Bay
[01:02.69] And you realise you can't make it anyway
[01:07.24] You have to wash the car
[01:09.41] Take the kiddies to the park
[01:12.62] Don't marry her, fuck me
[01:17.43] Those lovely Sunday mornings
[01:19.88] With breakfast brought in bed
[01:21.67] Those blackbirds look like knitting needles
[01:24.45] Tryna peck your head
[01:26.69] Those birds will peck your soul out
[01:29.64] And throw away the key
[01:32.18] Don't marry her, fuck me
[01:36.36] And the kitchen's always tidy
[01:38.65] And the bathroom's always clean
[01:40.83] She's a diploma in "just hiding things"
[01:43.76] You've a first in "low esteem"
[01:46.44] When your socks smell of angels
[01:48.80] But your life smells of Brie
[01:51.06] Don't marry her, fuck me
[01:55.78] And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco Bay
[02:00.61] And you realise you can't make it anyway
[02:05.48] You have to wash the car
[02:07.25] Take the kiddies to the park
[02:09.82] Don't marry her, fuck me
[02:15.44] 
[02:53.63] And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay
[02:58.62] And you realise you can't make it anyway
[03:03.68] You have to wash the car
[03:05.79] Take the kiddies to the park
[03:09.39] Don't marry her, fuck me
[03:15.19]
