Mr. And Mrs.
Lyricist:Williamson Robin D H
He's wearing the breaches that father bequeath'd him Grandfather's jacket, still stained from the war Schoolmaster's hat and mother's familiar And thousands of souvenirs kept from before
Still wearing the bruises of coppers and robbers Ring of the bishop on loving his thumb Once-bitten apples of jealous dispassion Twice-eaten hopes with the crust and the crumb
She carries a gramophone and plays the same records Family choir claim truth equals pain Compulsively buying the devil's selection Of sure good for nothing again and again
Children come follow in grandfather's footsteps Laced on her fears and her man-o-war stare Mapping a course with the hard learned lesson Magistrate's customer and the three bears
Mr. and Mrs. I know it's sore with the daily pitchfork And the marshal law Oh, chatting young lovers sweetness heart Working together to make this world Out of the pain the sweet gone sour Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'm going to the beautiful country don't you want to come
A check for the break in my telephone line And people are buzzing me most of the time I'm dialing your line I wait for my reply
I'm here, I'm here Now I'm on my way, now I'm on my way Oh, Mr. and Mrs., oh, Mr. and Mrs. Well, I just can't stay So many haters in this town, so many haters
Everyone's trying to put you down Mr. and Mrs., oh, Mr. and Mrs. You're in this mess I understand you're in such a mess
Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Palm the tears in your eyes Talking about tears in your eyes You know, I won't leave till you come through
Doo, we, oo, we, ooh Doo, we, oo, we, ooh
