HE COMES HOME EACH DAY, AT A QUARTER TO SIX
WHEN HIS LOVELY WIFE, GOT HIS DINNER FIXED
THEN HE READS THE PAPER, DRINKS A BOTTLE OF BEER
WHEN HIS KIDS TELL STORIES HE DON'T SEEM TO HEAR
THAN THE T.V. SWITCHED ON, FOR THE NINE 'O CLOCK NEWS
THE ROOM GETS SMELLY, 'CAUSE HE PUT OUT HIS SHOES
ELEVEN 'O CLOCK AND HE BRUSHES HIS TEETH
A 5 MINUTE ROMANCE BEFORE HE FELLS ASLEEP
IS THIS WHAT HE WANTS 3X
EVERYDAY, ANOTHER DAY OF HIS LIFE
SHE GETS UP AT SEVEN THEN WAKES UP THE KIDS
SHE GOES TO THE KITCHEN, MAKING BREAKFAST AND TEA
SHE 'S GOT HIS LUNCHBOX READY, "DARLING HAVE A NICE DAY"
SHE STANDS BEHIND THE WINDOW WHEN HE DRIVES AWAY
THE KIDS TO SCHOOL THE WASHING-MACHINE
THE SUPERMARKET THE HOUSE IS VACUUM-CLEANED
THE KIDS COME HOME AT A QUARTER PAST FOUR
WHEN SHE HAS JUST RETURNED FROM HER PART-TIME JOB AT THE STORE
IS THIS WHAT SHE WANTS 3X
EVERYDAY, ANOTHER DAY OF HER LIFE
IT'S A LABOUR LIFE YOU GOT TO WORK EVERYDAY
YOU GOT THE RIGHT TO DIE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND GRAY
AND WHEN YOU REALIZE YOUR LIFE PAST AWAY
THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT
THE LABOUR LIFE, THE WORK EVERYDAY
WHEN I'LL DIE I'LL SIMPLY BE REPLACED
WITHOUT A CHOICE WITHOUT A FACE
SOMETIMES SHE GETS SUSPICTIOUS, CAUSE HE IS SO OFTEN AWAY
A ONE DAY BUSINESS TRIP, AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS
WHEN HE COMES HOME SHE TAKES HIS SUITCASE UPSTAIRS
HIS SUIT BACK IN THE WARDROBE NO STRANGE PERFUMES IN THE AIR
THEN HE ASKS POLITELY: "DARLING HOW HAVE YOU BEEN"
SHE SAYS SHE STAYED AT HOME, THE KITCHEN HAD TO BE CLEANED
HE THINKS THAT IS STRANGE CAUSE WHEN HE FELT SO ALONE
HE TRIED TO CALL HER WHOLE DAY, SHE DIDN'T PICK UP THE PHONE
IS THIS WHAT WE WANT 3X
EVERYDAY, ANOTHER DAY OF OUR LIVES
