"Wives 1, 2 & 3" lyrics - PAUL HEATON
Wife number one
Her confidence had gone
The pounds had piled upon those deadly thighs
As she sank into the sand
And missed my outstretched hand
I could not understand her final cries
She did not feed me well
She led me close to hell
When faced with final bell
What a surprise...
The women and their husbands
They are chalk and they are cheese
You cannot call it true love
Until one o' you's on your knees
The women and their husbands
They are north and they are south
Love just can't survive
Unless you learn to hush your mouth
Love just can't survive
Unless you learn to hush your mouth
Wife number two
So loyal and so true
Till the wind on bridge top blew, she was mine
But when she hit that railway track
There was no going back
I watched her poor head cracked
By the eight o nine
She did not love me right
I called her late at night
Asking her friends of ours
Instead of mine
The women and their husbands
They are chalk and they are cheese
You cannot call it true love
Until one o' you's on your knees
The women and their husbands
They are north and they are south
Love just can't survive
Unless you learn to hush your mouth
Love just can't survive
Unless you learn to hush your mouth
Wife number three
She fell into the sea
But I had to let her be
I could not swim
As I stood there soaking wet
My only real regret
'S I could not quite forget
She slept with him
The women and their husbands
They are chalk and they are cheese
You cannot call it true love
Until one o' you's on your knees
The women and their husbands
They are north and they are south
Love just can't survive
Unless you learn to hush your mouth
Love just can't survive
Unless you learn to hush your mouth
Wife number four
He loves me to the core
So I like to stay indoors and watch TV
If he mentions going out
He puts finger to my mouth
And reminds me
Of wives 1,2, and 3
