i'm stuck at home with a thousand housewives they're such a scream at least for a while from their tireless questioning they never cease: how to keep your man how to effect world peace
so why did you ask me out when you knew you could not deliver? we went out somewhere then came back again so why do you look terrified?
i don't care if you never make a move just as long as you don't say it's time to leave stay around a while i can make more tea you can put on a record just don't say you're going
cos what the housewives don't tell you because they don't want to distress you is it's a lonely, lonely vigil that we're keeping and it's all for you
now you're sending me messages that i can't quite read you write, "hope you're well" when you mean, "come and see me" you write, "how are you?" when you mean, "how i want you" and your "see you soon" means, "put those arms around me"
so why did you ask me out when you knew you could not deliver? i could wait all day in your favourite café but the staff are almost ready to turn me away
cos what the housewives don't tell you because they don't want to depress you is it's a lonely, lonely vigil that we're keeping
what the housewives don't tell you what they never have done and they never will do it's a lonely, lonely vigil that we're keeping and it's all for you
you see there's something that the housewives don't tell you because they really, really don't want to distress you but me, i'm not so concerned with protecting your feelings i think there's something that you ought to know
