Baddie's bound by ancient codes
of decency and secrecy
he understands about
stabbin' backs and shaking hands
So if or when you're behind bars or
in front of them as you are
Look out for the man who'll
bum your wife and then shake your hand
Oh you've been here before
you fell in love and carried her over the threshold
Thinking
She's far too good looking
to do the cooking
now that was twenty years ago
twenty years ago
And now she's thinking
It's a lousy life for the washed up wife
of a permanently plastered pissed up bastard
A lousy life for the washed up wife
of a permanently plastered pissed up bastard
A lousy life for the washed up wife
of a permanently plastered pissed up bastard
Lousy life, a lousy life
Kid was singing will I ever be free
does this town hold no more for me
Club Tropicana the drinks are free
stick one in his face for me
