lyrics

Come now, baby let’s bite the bullet
And call this what we both know it is
Every woman has been the love of your life
But you made me your wife cause you just got
To a certain age and buckled under
The pressure from your mother– she wants some grandkids
And your little brother has gone off the rails again
She withdrew all hopes from him when he hit the skids

And now it’s you and me baby
And all the things we say we want from life
And we live like the king and the queen
Of the world we can see from the end of the drive. It’s nice

And anyway, you have lived your whole life
By the book and just look where it got you
We’re filthy rich and you sit in our flash house
And look out at the sea view and feel bored
And now we’re convinced that a princess or prince
Would give this excess shit some more meaning
In one selfless move we could finally prove we lived
Not out of greed but love for our potential family

And now it’s you and me baby
And all the things we say we want from life
And we live like the king and the queen
Of the world we can see from the end of the drive. It’s nice

So come now, we both thought that we knew
What we wanted and this was pretty much it
A house and a car and a boat for the weekends
A bun in the oven and a spa pool

And now it’s you, me and a baby
And all the things we said we would want from life
And we live like a king and a queen
With everything and no spare time. It’s nice. It’s alright.
