Well, I'm back to make your face So it smiles once again And harpoon you like a whale With a bent and rusty nail
If your husband knew, he'd say That you're living in sin Well, if grinnin' is a sin That's the reason I'm here Back with you, Mrs Blear
Sleep on, dear Deep and easy, our night man is here I'll steal your dreams for my shiny gold chain And you'll wake with your eyes full of rain Finding I've disappeared
I don't think of yesterday Merely drum out the sound But forgetting you was hard That's why I'm back in town
And you had a loveless week And the world's let you down But I'll make it up somehow There are ways, Mrs Brown That's why I'm back in town
Sleep on, dear For the night wouldn't dare interfere And the ghosts of my cigarette play On the ceiling, and time drifts away With the burden it bears
Remember me I've already forgotten you And make your beds for me For the things we ought not to do
