Wish You Were Her — текст песни (Billy Bragg)

There`s a girl sleeping in my bed
And I`m singing unwritten songs in my head
She provided bittersweet company
I confided how much you mean to me
And this time
It`s gonna take a train to pull me through
Some brief distraction from your memory
Is all that I hoped that she might be
And as I let her warm her feet on me
Wish you were her

That I wanted you to be my wife
Is the worst kept secret of my life
Everyone knows
even my friend here
I`ve just whispered your name in her ear
And this time
It`s gonna take a train to pull me through
Some brief distraction from your memory
Is all that I had hoped that she might be
And I ask her how she takes her tea
Wish you were her
Her
I wish you were her
