Toyah - Wife Lyrics

Willcox)

This is your five minute call five minutes ladies and gentlemen thank you

Where's my lunch?
Where's my f*cking lunch?

Big big tears
By the bright blue sea
As deep as forever
Oh Shirley, Shirley Valentine
If only mother found
What you found
I wouldn't be here, dreaming

Salutations dear listener
This is a comedy in three acts
Breakfast, lunch and tea
And they better not be late
Here he comes
Through the bordello doors
I kowtow to my pimp
I'm a good little whore

Hello wall
Nice to see you wall
Good day at the office wall
Your dinner's on the floor darling
And scrape me off the ceiling

Well I'm a mercenary wife
Where it complies
I compromise
I only wear this skin
'Cos I sinned in m'past life

I want war
And you want me
I want war
And you want breakfast, lunch and tea

On stage please, on stage, thank you.

Sweat drips off my brow
I know my lines, my moves
My place in life
And it's ticking away

I'm not going on tonight
That insecure feeling
A void of nothing-ness
I'm dripping away

Well I'm a mercenary wife
I want what money buys
I only wear this skin
Cos I sinned in m'past life
I want war
And you want me
I want war
And you want breakfast, lunch and tea
